I was so sad to hear that Helen had passed away. My deepest condolences to Cora and Bernadette and all of Helen's family and friends. She was a wonderful person, with a beautiful smile and a big heart and a spirit of generosity. When I was a volunteer helper I had the good fortune to meet Helen on a WIT summer school for adults many moons ago. I still recall her kindness, her smile,laughter and optimistic approach to life. May Helen have eternal peace and rest.
