Interment to follow at Holy Cross Cemetery. If you prefer to make a donation in Helen’s memory, in lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate them directed to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Children’s Wish Foundation. We kindly ask that if you plan to attend Helen’s celebration, that you please try to wear happy colours (suits excepted of course). Mom always said, “Funerals are depressing enough without everyone showing up wearing black.” ?
