Goodbye Helen - my wonderful teammate for several years at Farquhar. She was an outstanding teacher and a joy to work with.

Please accept my sincere sympathies. May God's holy spirit or active force, equip you with the " power beyond what is normal " to go from one day to the next. ( 2 Corinthians 4 : 7 ) Remember : God can help his faithful servants to endure any and every problem they may face.

I worked with Helen years ago at Farquhar Middle. She was a delight to work with... Always so funny and kind. May she rest in peace. I hope your entire family is comforted at this difficult time by the many fond memories you have of this lovely lady.
