Dear Chris, Lindy and family, my sincere condolences. I will miss Helen and our chats when I was doing foot care, that’s when she talked the most about her family and her dear ‘Jack’. She was strong willed and stuck to what she wanted. May she rest in peace.

Christopher, Lindy, Aela & Kate – please know that you’re all in our thoughts & prayers at this time. Auntie Helen was loved by all and will be truly missed. Although miles away, she and Uncle Jack were always in our hearts. When visiting the “farm”, it was always wonderful to see them, they were such a wonderful happy couple. As an adult, it was wonderful to hear all of the Brown news when Auntie Helen and mom connected during their many phone calls to each other. I was fortunate enough to have talked to Auntie Helen during her stay at Queensway on several occassions, and each time she always inquired about the family and was delighted to share news about you Chris & Lindy & your children. We will cherish our memories forever. All our love, Larry & Diana, Jennifer, Robyn & Family.
