Rest in Peace Aunt Helen - I would agree with my sisters - thing I remember most was your amazing baking skills and the smell of baked cookies, cakes and other sweets from the kitchen!!! I would always get excited when special events occurred in Laflin and I knew you had sweets all on table - so many to choose from and all tasty..... Heaven now has a new "Baking Angel" With love, Joey Demnitski
