Helen Alexander

Helen always made a person feel welcome and cherished whenever in her presence. She was happy to add you to her prayer list, and you knew she truly would be praying for you. She was a beautiful and graceful soul

I met Helen in 1976 during my first year teaching at Sacred Heart School and we became fast friends. Eventhough I was 30 years younger then she was our spirits connected. We shared lots of intimate stories and belly laughs over the years.
Helen always remembered our Wedding Anniversary for all of the 30 years before my husband died. Helen hung our wedding booklet in her laundry room, so she would remember to pray for us .
When I saw Helen in her last few weeks at St Ann's...

I first met Helen in the mid 70s when she taught reading at Sacred Heart. I loved her instantly - she was so proud of her children and her Bill. I'll never forget how she shared and lived her strong faith and love for God. She was such a dear, sweet lady. I miss her.

I was greatly blessed years ago to meet Helen at several Tony and Irene Geglio's wonderful dinners. As often happened things got a little heated. So Helen would get on her knees and start praying the rosary. Many of us would fill our wine glasses and join in. All in all she graced and blessed our lives like no one could. She was special and rarer than radium'.

Helen may the wind be at your back and the sun on your face to warm you. May all those gone before you welcome you. May...
