    My heart goes out to all of Helen’s family. I remember going on vacation to Ohio when I was 8 and visiting Aunt Helen and Uncle Bob. I remember playing in the sprinkler and Aunt Helen spraying all of us kids with water. Funny what you remember. Love, Betty Martin daughter of Evelyn (Babcock) & Raymond Martin.
