I feel extremely blessed to have had Helen as an aunt. She was always kind and willing to help anyone with whatever they needed. Her main concern for me was that I got a good education and I am proud to say I am doing just that. I am so glad that I was able to make it to BC to visit with her this past summer with my father and sister. You are deeply loved and missed Helen.

Helen will be fondly remembered by all who knew her. The fun times we shared in Mesa,AZ and also the Shuswap. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time, and special thanks to Geraldine for being such a great help to Mike during the last of her illness. Bless all of you.

Please accept our deepest and heartfelt sympathies on your loss. Mrs. Woroby was such “a lady” and she made the most awesome Christmas treats for the staff at the bank. She will be missed.
