Attachment
Oh my Auntie Helen…what a loving, caring and generous person! A true Matriarch not only to our family but to your many friends and your church. You truly are loved by all who had the opportunity to meet you! You quickly became “Aunt Helen” to all my friends, cheering on all our sporting events, charity functions and bellying up to the bar and partying with us at Dlapa’s. We have made sooo many wonderful memories that I will cherish forever!!! You were not only my dear sweet Auntie, but my good friend! I thank you for that and I am honored to have had you in my life.
Rest easy Auntie. Love you tons ~ Christeen
GREAT! Aunt Helen, you truly were great and such a joy to us all. I enjoyed spending time with you at every family function (and you never missed one) and it was always so special to me how much you cared and took interest in every single person in this big family.
Rest in Peace, Dan
Dear great aunt Helen,
You were such a staple in our family and had such a sweet and compassionate soul. Your dedication to giving and caring for others will is beyond compare. I admire how you’ve always celebrated Slovak traditions in our family. I’ll always remember the times that I helped out at the Holiday Folk Fair. Which may be the one and only time that I’ll ever don the traditional Slovak dress! 🙂 I had such a great time though. You will truly be missed! Tell everyone in heaven that I say hi! – Melanie
