The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

Helen and cousins in their Czech kroje.

I posted the photo showing Helen with her first cousins Mildred and Stella in their Czech folk costumes (kroje) because those memories of her youth in Astoria, going to Sokol and Bohemian Hall with her cousins, seemed so important to her. I believe it is a photo she gave me. Later she met Bob Taborsky at a dance in Bohemian Hall. My own parents met there too. My mother was another first cousin who lived for a time with the Bicaks in Astoria after Helen's parents and Stella's parents sponsored her to come to this country. Our connections run deep. Bob Taborsky and my father Bill Dufek became the best of friends. I will miss talking to Helen and feeling her quiet presence.
