We've just learned today of Helen's passing. We are so sorry. Shirley is in shock and quite saddened to lose her Montreal friend. They often joked about being in the old folks home, "what are we doing here" they'd say, and have some good laughs. They spent a lot of time together at Amica. Our deepest sympathy to all the family, children and grandchildren and friends. Shirley (Amica), Christine and Scott Walker
