Aunt Helen has been in my prayers and will continue to be. She was such a kind and caring person. She was like a mother to me when I was at Lafayette College. It was so good to see her again on a visit a couple of years ago. I will always remember her love. My condolences to Skip and Rich as well as all of the Vasvari Family.
