Dan and families, my deepest sympathy. I remember attending her 90th birthday celebration. She was a treasure for many years. My daughter, Micky , let me know that she had passed. I'm in Florida for the winter. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

As one of the nephews I always looked up to Aunt Helen. Such a full and wonderful life. One of my favorite memories of her was receiving a book each Christmas. In fact, I still have some of those books after all these years. I'm sure she will have a good time in the future.
