My wife and I are greatly saddened to hear of your mother’s passing. She was a great lady who put up with loads of silliness when we were lads, trying to learn how to be adults. Please accept and pass on our well wishes to your dad and the rest of your family….

I found Helen too late. Her father, Joseph Blahut, was my grandfather’s brother. He went to the US in the year. Janus Czechoslovakia.
