Albertone's and Delaney's -
My deepest condolences to you all for the loss of a dynamic woman EVERYONE fondly knew as Aunt Helen. My favorite memories were of all of us (6)piling into her VW Rabbit and driving to the Mentor Headlands - who needed seatbelts? That trip was always followed by a trip to "DQ"...at the insistence of Jimmy - of course ;).

The Aunt Helen we knew all those years was not the same Aunt Helen that left us only days ago. I look forward to seeing her again some day in Heaven, ready to hit the beach and DQ and impart her wisdom on us as she did so elequently all those years...
Love you all,
Paul DiCicco
