My memories of Aunt Helen are filled with love and gratitude. I'm thankful for her straight forward way of sharing stories from the past and her way of letting me know with her signature wit and humor, I belong. I am forever grateful.

Helens family,
I am sorry to hear about Helen even though she lived a long life she will be missed by everyone I'm sure. I am unable to make the visitation or funeral due to the time. I lost Kent my husband to cancer Feb 09 and I know what you must be going thru he was only 46. So hold onto the memories and they will get you through.
