Dear Richard and family,
So sorry to hear of your sweet mom passing away...I thought she was the nicest, most gentle and kindest person I've ever known...I have many fond memories of her doing crafts with us when she'd come to babysit...nothing was off limits with Aunt Helen!
And all the wonderful decorating she did both in St. Jerome's church and hall! I hope she's having a blast up in Heaven and kicking up her heels to some of Uncle Pete's tunes!!!
