I am the son of Helen's brother Nick Sutsos. I haven't seen my aunt that much in the last 12 years, but was able to have dinner last year with friend and family. My favorite memory, which is a long time ago, was the Orange cake she made. I still miss it today, 50 years later. All my love. John and Margie
