To me, she was Aunt Helen. As a child, I saw her as a stern, but loving woman. Going to visit Aunt Helen & Uncle Les was always an event we looked forward to. As an adult, I valued her company even more as she shared much of our family history along with many colorful stories about the town in which we both grew up. ( Tottenville, Staten Island) I will miss our talks and her knowing smile. My condolences to Pat, Dave, Lynn, Dane & Ryan as well as those on the Mester side of the family .
