Jeff and Ann, Deb and Wayne, Paul and Laurie, and all of your families. My parents enjoyed Bob and Helen during their retirement years in Point Clark and especially all of the good times in Florida and the cottage. They were both engaging people always interested in hearing what you were doing and of course loved to chat about what all of you were doing. Your Mom and I became closer after my Mom passed in 2008 and I will always treasure her friendship. Thank you so much Jeff for the phone call. Janice Ross

Just a short note to let you know that although I have only known Helen for a little over a year, she is a person in life that touched my heart. I will indeed miss her, and I wish to convey to all of her family that she will indeed be a vacant place for all of us in the Malcolm Place family.

Please accept our condolences. I was privileged to have a visit with Deb and Ann at the Fair this summer and commented on how some of us age (me) and some do not (Ann and Deb). From the looks of her photo, neither did Helen. Long time no see, but we do recall fondly the days of being neighbours and your Mom as the school librarian. Best / Mark

Deb and families: Sad to hear about Helen's death. We all enjoyed having her at Malcolm Place, she was such an interesting lady. Her tablemates were very saddened when I told them of her passing. They both told me that they were very fond of her and will really miss her............... as we all will. Deb, you were such a good daughter to her, as I'm sure the rest of her family were too....I just had more contact with you Deb. Know that she thought the world of all of her family. She was so proud of you all! She told me that! Take care Mary Lawson
