Dear Elaine, Leah, Lorne and families. Your Mom indeed was a very special person, not only to you but to so many others around her. We're sorry we won't be at the funeral but will think of you as you remember and honour a great lady! We have been traveling in Newfoundland and Labrador and will catch up with you at the end of the month. - Posted by: Maurice and Ann (Koop) Hunsberger () on: Jul 09, 2013

Aunt Helen was a wonderful lady with a delightful sense of humor. We will certainly miss her. She and Uncle Abe were a huge inspiration for us both with their unique outlook when Ken was so ill. Our deepest sympathy to all of the family. - Posted by: Ken and Diane Giesbrecht (Nephew and niece) on: Jul 08, 2013

To Helen's family, Sending my condolences on your loss. I remember seeing your Mom every time I passed her room to visit mine. She was such a sweet lady. It is always hard to say goodbye to your Mom. They are such special people in our lives. However, we wouldn't want to keep them here any longer when life was so empty and full of suffering. I enjoyed learning more about her life. Peace be with you. Lynda - Posted by: Lynda Jones (Daughter of deceased Bathania resident Jean Sotham) on: Jul 08, 2013
