I'm so sorry about Aunt Helen, she will be missed, but never forgotten. She was the rock of the family. If you needed to know anything about anyone, just call Aunt Helen, she knew everything that was going on. She will surely be missed at all our corn roasts, especially the pineapple squares, they were awesome. Love you all and please keep in touch.
