Although I didn't get to spend lots of time with Auntie Helen living far away, the times I did have with her will always be special memories to me. I remember being so surprised and pleased that in the middle of a bitterly cold winter Auntie, Uncle, and Gramma came to our wedding. Looking back I wish I'd spent more time visiting with them at the wedding; there was so much to fit into a short evening, and the significance of the great effort of their trip was lost on 19 year old me. Fast forward to five years later Auntie Helen was at Mary's (Mom's) and I brought baby Megan to visit. After a lovely afternoon when it was time to go I was checking to see if we had everything bottle caps etc. Auntie Helen remarked how most mothers were not as organized as I was. Oh if she only knew I was thinking, and also what a kind, sweet thing to say to a frazzled, inept young Mom. Apologies this is too long, my point is that I'm so honoured to have had such an amazing Auntie Helen and I loved her very much. My deepest condolences, thoughts, prayers and love to our whole family. Love Dave, Cheryl, Megan, and Matty Montgomery
