Aunt Helen was a wonderful woman full of love which shows by the happiness of her children and grandchildren. She started me over 40 years ago on a lifelong collection of tea cups and tea pots. She gave me my first one when I became engaged to my wonderful husband. She gave me my second tea cup when I was married. I still have and treasure them both and have added many more to the collection. In fact my husband had to build shelves for the overflow. I will always remember her for this. Thank you Aunt Helen for a home full of memories. Sandra
