I was deeply saddened by the news of Helen White's passing. She was my son's preschool teacher almost 30 years ago. My deepest sympathies to her family...she was a wonderful person!

We will all miss Mrs. White's friendly face and smile at Randolph Elementary. She was such a faithful volunteer for so many years. Her memory will be treasured.

Dear Brian, Linda, Amy, Hannah, Benton, and Phllip,
It was a pleasure working with Mrs. White for many years at Randolph Elementary. She was my #1 volunteer and the students adored her. Her advice about student ability was always on target and so helpful. I was always touched when she made a point of using the painted umbrella I made for her with students' names on it. She was always so thoughtful. Please take care and know that your Mother made a huge impact on the lives of many.

Love,
Darlene Martin
