Antoinette “Toni” Renee HELMER nee LeCornu
Born June 9, 1946. She passed away peacefully after a long and torturous battle with cancer on May 30, 2013. She was a wonderful and caring wife to her husband, Daniel Helmer. They loved and cherished each other until her unfortunate death. She is also survived by her daughter Yolanda Sainz, son Lennard Bracamonte, daughter-in-law Jamelle, four grandchildren Liselle, Aidán, Mikael and Roman, who she enriched by being their “Nana Toni”. Brothers Andre LeCornu and Adrian LeCornu will miss their “Big Sis’ very much, as will her mother Thelma Ratzeburg (Nathan). She is preceded in death by her father George LeCornu, brother Dana LeCornu, sister Yvonne Lecornu and brother Ned LeCornu.
“A face that is always on my mind,
A smile I have seen a million times,
Two eyes that would light up the sky at night,
One last battle you could not fight.
The day was long, then night the morn.
I knew that soon you would be gone,
I clasped your hand so in mine,
Soon we would be out of time.
To stay with us you fought so hard,
A million pieces went my heart
Waiting in heaven from this moment on,
Until God asks you to bring me home.”
We love you and will always carry you in our hearts, until we meet again
