Dear Ilona,

I'm sorry to be leaving my condolences so late. We weren't aware of your Mom's passing until recently.

I have wonderful memories of Helen (Ilona) when she lived at Grace Manor for many years. Meeting you and her pride and joy, Marko, when he was still a little boy...The two of you were special loves. Helen was the most amazing "baker". Man, she wowed our staff and tenants with her yummy creations. She was a regular with the ladies at their coffee time, in the tenant lounge, and often shared her treats with them. Helen ALWAYS attended the social events, our dinners, etc. She is one of many long-term residents who are no longer with us, but whose memories are precious.

My sincere condolences for your loss. Your Mom was a wonderful lady.

With love and many blessings,

JoAnne Peterson
