Not sure what to say?

Helen was a member of the Labrador Retriever Chat board, which is where our paths crossed. There she shared her love for Druid (her beautiful dog), her wit, her compassion and her wisdom. She was an advocate for animals and people needing help. Helen was both loved and admired and is greatly missed.

What a loss to us all! Helen's brilliant mind, inquisitive nature, irreverent wit, and great loving heart, challenged me at times, thrilled me at others, and always enriched my life. I will miss her terribly.

I only met Helen twice and both were transporting labs to their safe homes. The rescue community lost a true angel. She will be missed. I believe that people from every walk of life have lost a treasure. My condolences to her family, friends and her beloved Druid.

In my days as Dean of Students at Trinity College (DC) Helen, as Judicial Chair, was my right hand. Going through some typical late '60's traumas together began a 40 year friendship that included visits, phone calls, two months worth of FL grapefruit a year, and lots of sharing on life's joys and sorrows.

I will always cherish the gift of Helen in my life: loyal friend and witty colleague.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Helen's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones during this difficult and challenging time.

Will always fondly recall our chats about "life", and the smile you'd leave me with. While the Lord must have needed you at this time, we will certainly miss you.

I was very sorry to hear of Ms. Gallagher's passing. She was one of my favorite clients and always a bright spot in my day. Our sincerest condolences from the Sesi Motors family.

I will always remember Helen for her sharp legal mind, her wit, and her generous spirit. My condolences to Peg, Sue, Druid, and to all who loved her.
