Helen D. Blake

We met Helen through her husband Pres. We spent many wonderful afternoons with them both talking real estate and cars. We even bought a Rolls from Pres that we enjoyed for many years. Helen was the perfect ying to Pres´s yang. Quiet, contemplative, and sweet, against Pres´s raging bull, get out of my way persona. Our condolences to her family. She was a very special person.

Dear Blake and Davis families - I am so sorry for your loss of Helen. I enjoyed her as a math teacher, and I remember the lovely person she was.

I knew Helen from my twelve years as Head of Wilbraham and Monson Academy.

I always had the impression she knew a lot more than she ever let on and had a palpable presence of calm control. It might be cliche to say she was a rare woman but it´s the truth. It was an honor to know her.

I would like to extend my deepest, heartfelt sympathy to all of Helen's family, who she loved & talked about with the fondest of memories of quality time spent with all of you. I met Helen & Susan at our SFP Bible Study & visiting her became the highlight of my time while here in FL. I will never meet a more kinder, sweeter or generous person & I truly loved her like a sister. She glowed when talking about how blessed her life was and I loved hearing about her amazing trips, always with...
