Helene was a very loving teacher and friend. We are so sorry to hear of her passing. I taught next to her for many years at Grace Episcopal Day School. She was the perfect kindergarten teacher - kind, loving and encouraging to students and teachers. Hugs and prayers for John and family. I hope to stop but I babysit my 3mo. old grandson.
