      Helen M. (Kuczera) Law
      Died May 7, 2000
      PLYMOUTH - Helen M. (Kuczera) Law, beloved wife of the late Bruno Law, a prominent Detroit attorney, died Sunday.
      She was described by friends as a devoted wife and mother. She was well known for her untiring support of her three sons and was very proud of their accomplishments. When someone recently mentioned how proud she must be of her sons, she replied, "I could not have done it without a wonderful husband."
      Helen was also very active in senior citizen activities, was an active Republican, and a zealous Red Wings fan.
      Her son Robert said the only thing that fired his mother up more than politics was watching Red Wings games on television. She was often seen walking in her neighborhood wearing her No. 9 Red Wings hockey jersey that had been autographed by Gordie Howe.
      Helen was a strong advocate for issues affecting senior citizens and often advised her sons on behalf of seniors. Her advise and counsel on issues relating to seniors strongly influenced all of her sons.
      Abe Munfah, former Plymouth Township trustee and prominent engineer, had this comment about Helen, "I have been involved in politics many years and can vouch for Mrs. Law's enthusiasm in helping candidates who supported senior citizens, It seemed like at the end of a campaign I would look over and there she'd be, not tired in the least. What a great lady!"
      An active Republican, she often visited Lansing where she had the opportunity to meet former Governor William Milliken, Lt. Gov. Brickley, Congressman Carl Pursell, State Sen. Robert Geake, and Michigan's current governor, John Engler, and as usual, lobbied for seniors in her usual gracious, diplomatic manner.
      Gov. Engler stated, "She was a friend and a remarkable woman who raised a family of activists. She passed along her desire to better her community to her family and, because of her, Michigan is a better place. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Law family."
      Helen is survived by three sons, Thomas A. (Sharon) Law, an attorney who has served on the Oakland County Board of Commissioners for the past 16 years; Gerald H. (Christine) Law, an attorney and former Plymouth Township Supervisor, who has served as State Representative for the 20th District of Plymouth, Northville, and Livonia for 16 years; and Robert C. Law, an attorney from Traverse City, former State Representative, Special Assistant to the governor and served as Executive Assistant for Policy and Legislation to the Governor.
      She is also survived by her brother, Henry (Mary) Kuczera, and grandchildren, David, Julie, Jennifer and Katherine.
      Helen was an active member of Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish.
      Special remembrance is given to her beloved pal, Dudley, who will no doubt greet her in heaven.

      Sister Dorothy Plamondon OP
      Died May 7, 2000
      "Jesus, I cannot wait
      For your embrace,
      Or, for your kiss
      When will you end
      this Exile and bring
      me into bliss?"
     
      MARYWOOD - On Sunday, May 7, 2000, Sister Dorothy received her answer to these lines which she penned several years ago. Her long life of poor health and patient suffering were exchanged for the glories and joys of life eternal.
      Her earthly life began in Provemont (Lake Leelanau), Mich. on Nov. 21, 1914, when she became the first and only child born to Ovilla J. and Genevieve Plamondon. The day following her birth, she was baptized at St. Mary Church and received the name of Mary Mildred, but was known by Mildred. Five weeks after her birth her dear mother died, and Grandma Plamondon cared for her until she was twelve years of age.
      In 1922, her grandparents moved to Plamondon, Alberta, Canada (to join the Plamondon clan) and there Mildred completed her grammar school in 1927. In June of that same year, her grandparents returned to Michigan for a visit, Mildred remained in Lake Leelanau with her father and stepmother. From the father's second marriage, Mildred was to know and experience the joy of having a kindly new mother and four brothers and four sisters, all of whom were very devoted to her. That September, Mildred entered St. Mary High School and after two and 1/2 years, came to Marywood in January 1930 as an Aspirant. She had the distinction in June 1931 to be the first Aspirant to finish high school at Marywood.
      Sister Dorothy was blessed to be born into a family with strong faith and a great love of the church, and she was very proud of her French heritage. In addition to having the influence of our Sisters during her years at St. Mary's, she had three wonderful aunts in our community who were all Plamondons: Sisters Rose Mary, Anna and Dominic Marie. Likewise, Sister Juliette Belanger was her first cousin.
      On Sept. 8, 1931, Mildred entered the Marywood novitiate with 21 other girls. Sister Jerome was the Novice Mistress. Her year as a postulant was spent at Catholic Junior college, forerunner of Aquinas College. On Aug. 17, 1932, she received the habit of St. Dominic and the name of Sister Dorothy of the Nativity. On Aug. 21, 1934, she made her first profession to Mother Eveline Mackey. She made her final vows on Aug. 21, 1937.
      For 12 years, Sister Dorothy taught in the following elementary schools: North Dorr; SS. Peter & Paul, Saginaw; St. Boniface and St. Joseph, Bay City; Hannah; Mt. Pleasant; and Chesaning. At the doctor's request, she was then given less strenuous and stressful work and became involved in food service and office work at Holy Angels Convent, Traverse City and Marywood. Marywood has been her residence since 1960. In 1972, she took on a second apostolate, namely, translating French books for a community of priests in California. These were published monthly in their paper, "La Verite."
      In her autobiography, Sister Dorothy stated, "Mary, the Blessed Mother, has played an important role in my life. Three times I was given the name of Mary: at my Baptism, at my Confirmation, and at my Reception, so I have a triple claim on Our Blessed Mother and with her I can sing: 'My soul proclaims your greatness, O my God, and my spirit has rejoiced in you, my Savior. For you, who are mighty, have made me great. Most Holy be your Name." Making rosaries for the missions was one way Sister Dorothy had of showing her devotion to Mary.
      Sister had to cope with poor health most of her life, and she bore this cross admirably. She was especially known for her quiet manner and her great charitableness in speech. Her suffering intensified her prayer life and her poetry reflects her intimacy with her God.
      May Sister Dorothy, who had a great love for God, our community and our Sisters, now not only sing the mercies of the Lord forever, but make constant intercession for us to God and Our Blessed Mother. May she know and enjoy God's everlasting peace, joy, love and light.
      Sister Dorothy is survived by her brothers, Dr. Thomas, Cletus and James Plamondon; her sisters, Mrs. Jeanne Curran, Mrs. Marilyn Schmuckal and Mrs. Helen Raymond - all of Traverse City; and many nieces, nephews and many friends.

His photographs are found on the walls of many cottages and homes in many areas. He operated his photo gallery for many years and the gallery still continues today. Mr. Dickinson also traveled extensively and photographed throughout Europe.
      One of Mr. Dickinson's greatest enjoyments was listening to music of the symphonic and operatic repertoire and playing works by Chopin on his piano. He enjoyed oil painting, traveling, reading, and working on his property.
      Fred Dickinson was one of the founders of the Glen Lake Association and the Leelanau County Prospectors Club. He was a member of the Suttons Bay Rotary Club, Empire Lions Club and the Sleeping Bear Noontiders.
      He is survived by his wife, Julia Terry Dickinson, three children, Grace Johnson of Glen Lake, William F. Dickinson of East Bloomfield, NY, and Terry Dickinson of Cedar, four grandsons, and one great-grandson.
