When I was a young boy their were two things I knew would be coming every Christmas. One was the Eaton's Christmas Catalogue and the other was a gift for my brothers and I from our Aunt Helen. It was something to look forward to, and her commitment to family and friends is something I will always remember. Although distances between us became greater, the visits or phone calls continued and were just as much appreciated today as they were long ago. May the family find strength to overcome sadness at this time and throw in a few good laughs for all those good times. She is now at peace and reunited with those others she also loved who have been gone for awhile before her. - Posted by: Don Franchuk (Nephew) on: Jan 09, 2014
