We take this time to regroup, refocus, and aim higher.
Love and Miss You!

I remember my aunt as being a great, cheerful lady. It had been a long time since I had seen her. I have shared stories about my aunt to my 3 children so they could have something to remember her by. I told my kids they would have really loved her. Aunt Helen will always be in our hearts and prayers, as well as the rest of the family.

My family and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the rest of the family on the loss of Helen. Sad yes, but joy filled my heart knowing that Helen spent 92 wonderful years among us. In a world that sometimes displays unhappiness, Helen always managed to smile and be happy. It has been a while since I last saw Helen. I can remember it clearly, my sister (Judy) was nice enough to send me to New Hampshire with the chicken pox after my sophmore year of high school. A story for another day. The time spent with Helen was great. I wish I had set aside the time to see her again, and maybe she could have met my beautiful wife and two kids. I take great privledge knowing I can still share the memories of Helen with my mother (Genevieve). Helen rest in peace, you certainly earned it!

Aunt Helen

It has been a very long time, but I can still remember the trips mom, dad, Janet and I use to take up to NH to visit. Rest in peace and say hi to Dad for me.

Love John
