Ciocia Helen was the ROCK in the Ozelski Family; back in the day she held it together. She was my Father's younger Sister and she was always scolding him (in Polish), but we always knew what was coming by her tone and when she said "Frankie"..... and would shake her finger at him. She was always the life of the party or wedding as she fluttered around the dance floor like an Angel so I guess she'll be fine in a different place. Ciocia Helen, there are many whom need your strong love and guidance. Please spread your Golden Wings and give strength to us all. You will forever be loved and missed. Love you always, Helen Marie
