Our sister Helene was a very caring person. Having her as a sister allowed all family members to be cared for in various ways. Helene was a fantastic home decorator, loving sister, wife and friend. Having lost two of her daughters Helene knew what agony felt like but also allowed her to demonstrate love, strength and caring for others who also lost children. Helene was a wonderful person.
