My brothers and I have very fond memories of your Mom & Dad. The memories of those summer holidays will be with us forever. Aunt Helene & your family were always willing to share your time with us and for that I will always be grateful, celebrate a life well lived, David, Peter & Jamie
Helene we shared some very good chats over many years and some of your good cooking too. One recipe in particular your plum/apple cake is one that I have carried on the tradition to my family. One in particular a grandson in Edmonton who loves that cake more than anything. You will be remembered for years to come with the traditions that you passed on to the family. You will be remembered and shared with family and friends who never got to meet you. Now that you are with Vern, may you rest in peace for eternity. You will be sadly missed......nancy brown vancouver
