it was with sadness that I learned that Aunt Helen had passed away. She was a favourite aunt of mine in childhood,full of ideas and good humour. As I made my adult life a few provinces away, I was not able to keep up with her much in later years but for many years I treasured me cards, recipes and various snippets she sent me. My condolences to the family.
