  3. Dear Aunt Helen, You were a precious gift to us. You were smart, funny, hard-working (an understatement) and a great cook! My Dad said, “Your Aunt Helen can make dish water taste good!” I remember you cutting a pattern out of newspaper for my flower girl gown, feeding our family, and finishing that beautiful dresss before we left for home. Thank you for helping raise the mother I hold so dear. You were amazing. Your kindnesses were too numerous to mention. You will always be remembered with loving thoughts. Until we meet again, you will be in my heart. Your loving niece, Helen-Rose

  4. Remembering you, Aunt Helen … When you had so little, you were always so generous. Thank you for all the Dr. Seuss books you gave my children. One of our most memorable shopping trips was to Gabe’s when I lost my old shoes while trying on new ones. Of course, I had to buy new ones or go barefooted! Then there was Mother’s 60th Class Reunion when we became honored guests due to lack of participation. Glad we had our good times! Rest in peace as you join your loved ones. Your loving niece, Barbara

  5. Thank-you grandma for everything you have done for me and all the times you were there for me!! You now rest in your hometown next to your husband!! I will still always remember you and pray for you!! I love you very (x highest #) much!!!
