Hello my dear cousins .I was surprised and sad to hear that your wonderful mother, our wonderful Aunt Helen had left our physical world and I am quite sure that she has gone on to a much greater and higher state of existence. She is probably with your father and my father and our aunts Mary Ethel and Kay and our uncle Harry and MomMom and PopPop and a huge number of other loving spirits.Although it is still sad not to have them with us in our physical world. I hope that you are all well and Happy and healthy.I have been enjoying great memory of our happy times together. I like the idea"life and death are one,as the river and the sea are one" THE PROPHET of Kahlil Gibran.
