When I think of Aunt Helen the first word that comes to mind is sweetness. She had a way of always making you feel good about yourself with her kind and perceptive words. I am so happy that I was reacquainted with her in recent years.
With my deepest sympathy,
Lisa

Susan, John, and Jamie:
Sabrina and I are so sorry for your loss. I still remember when your dad dad brought your mom home to meet Grandma. I don't think either one of them understood much of what the other said because Grandma spoke mostly Yiddish and a little heavily accented English and your mom was from the Midwest which was Terra Incognita to grandma. Please accept our sympathies.
