I am so sorry Karen, Diane and Darlene on the loss of your dear mother, Aunt Helen. She was a lovely person. My thoughts and prayers are with you ladies and the rest of your family. I remember when mom and I went up to aunt Helens when uncle Stirling passed away in1994 and we had good times talking about the good old days and had some good laughs. Do you girls remember the laughs we all had in the garage about my operation and me trying to explain it to you people. I am sure you remember that. Sending my love to you all!!!
