Aunty Helen will always have a place in our hearts. She was a hard working mom, always there for her family. Many good times were spent visiting Oakville, looking forward to her dinners, and especially her desserts (butter tarts). She will be missed!

Our deepest sympathy to the family, I have fond memories of your mother and father years ago when they would come and visit my parents Piet and Theodora Van Dyk when I was still at home before I got married.Your mother always had such zest for life and always made us laugh. May she rest in peace reunited with your Dad.
