Dear Uncle Jim, Susan and Sharon, I share in your great loss and continue to keep all of you in my prayers at this difficult time. I loved my Aunt Helen. Spending time with her was always fun and a learning experience. She always made me feel special. I have so many fond memories of her growing up as a child: Sled riding, building snowmen, playing games, making Rock Candy at Christmas time. She taught me how to sew, crochet, do crafts, and gave me the appreciation of plants and flowers. I was continually in awe of the talent she had for detail, especially her cross stitch. As I got older, I enjoyed our visits just talking and listening to her stories about family. She was generous, gentle, caring, loving and always willing to share. I will miss her very much! May we all be thankful for her love and take comfort in knowing she is now at peace
