So sorry to learn of Helen’s passing. I got to know her through Elisa Hleucka, who was her neighbor. I loved her laugh and sense of humor; and she was the recovery nurse who took care of me after two operations at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital. It was very reassuring to have her there in that capacity.
Sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. We were school mates our parents were good friends Helen was a wealth of nursing information.she took very good care of you Brian you were very blessed
