David, Jo-Ann and Family, I just found out that your mother passed away in December. I was saddened by the news. I remember all the times I spent on her Palm Springs patio discussing federal politics-Trudeau’s lost decade. I really enjoyed sharing time with her and viewed her as my friend. I know that memories of Helen will be a comfort to you. I feel lucky to have had Helen in my life. Much love and hugs, Wendy Mendelman - Posted by: Wendy Mendelman (Friend from Calgary and Palm Springs) on: Apr 08, 2025
