I can't believe Aunt Helen has been gone for a year, a year that I know has been very difficult for her family. I will light a candle for her and always treasure the fun memories from when I was a child.

Not a day goes by that we will not think of Nana and smile. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. I know she is in heaven now looking down on all of us. We are going to miss her so much.
