What a truly sad loss for our whole family! We send out our condolences for you, Cissy and Jay and the whole family. Aunt Helen was one of the fiestiest, moxiest, sassiest women I had ever known whilst growing up - and she truly was one of my "grown-up" role models. I hoped that I would grow into a wild woman like she was, and I think thanks to her *and all us crazy extended Zovko women* I'm well on my way! We are truly going to miss her. Much love to all, Sandie, Bob, Rachel, Shannon and Nicole
