Aunt Helen/Godmother: In my early years you were often the candle at my side, shining the light for me so that I could find my way. Through my trials and tribulations you loved and cared for me and my dad, (your brother) and my mother Margaret. You were a devoted daughter to Grandpa and Nana. A stellar sister to my Dad and a warm sister-in-law to my mother Margaret. Thank you for all you have given. I know that you were very weary---it was time to let you go. I rest in the confidence that your in Heaven with your Irish Eyes Smiling down on me. I shall miss you more than you could imagine. Please know that I did find my way..... Love, Your "Pegeen"
