Not sure what to say?

I have great respect for Helen. I know her only through her brave historical record she left for us and future generations. Such a lovely woman.

I do remember Helen, she was wonderful to me while I was a Rice University graduate student. I will never forget her sweetness and wise advises in tough times. Love her forever always from Mexico. God keeps her in his hands.

I am sad because I did not work hard enough to go back to Houston and see her for the last time. Eventhough I will always remember as an extraordinary lady that taught me about life and happiness. God bless you

I'm 25. I recently came across Helen's testimony on YouTube, which was done before I was even born. God bless this woman, who lived through such a tragic period of time. I was moved deeply by her testimony. Now that her experiences are on the internet, her experiences will be shared to countless generations in the future who will be able to watch this. Although she has passed away, she will continue to live and reside in our memories. My deepest condolences to her family.

I’m a hidden child survivor of the Holocaust and was profoundly moved by Helen’s testimonial.
She’s a inspiration to all mankind!

Hello my dear Mom. Today is the fourth anniversary of your death. I miss you dearly but I’m grateful you’re not here to see such hate in the world today and such anti Semitism. You spoke for so many years trying to promote love and acceptance and many got your message, just not enough. Rest In Peace ❤

Good Afternoon from London UK. I want to tell you know, how touched I was with your delightful mother and her stories about her past via Shoah on You Tube. May Hashem bless her soul and give you all the strength and belief to carry on her incredible legacy. Best regards from London, Thank you Raphael Sinai

Helen had the courage to speak to teens at Bellaire High School and I recently heard from one student who met her there and became friends with her and has never forgotten her.
He just now let me know of her passing and I wanted to let the family know how she and her words still live on today.
I am a teacher at Bellaire and remember how eloquently she spoke and what a beautiful person Helen Colin was.
We were all fortunate to have known her.

I love you mom and on the fourth anniversary of your passing it doesnt get any easier I think of you many times during the day and you are on my shoulder each day giving me advice that is so precious to me.
