Love you Aunt Helen. Always loved her letters letting us know what was going on, even in her 90´s she could write quite the letter. I will always remember all the love and care she gave to my Grandmother, God has a great addition to his heavenly world. There is no replacing special people like Aunt Helen, I am glad to have such special memories of her
