Sister Helen Marie was my principal at St. Theresa's and St. Vincent's in Shreveport. I so remember as an 8th grader her calling me into her office and telling me that she was following ME to St. Vincent's. I was worried because she had "my number"! She had a sense of humor that was probably wasted on me at the time! She was a strong, caring and faithful follower of Christ. A large soul has been called home at last. Thanks for the memories, Sister Helen Marie. Judy Robson Stark West (SVA...

Sr. Helen Marie, among those devoted and gentle guides we knew as teachers at our beloved St. Vincent's Academy, you were most sensitive and kind to all - even if you did religiously toss me out of religion class on my ear and send me downstairs to chapel!

Ah, Sweet Sister Helen Marie. I will always remember you. As a foolish freshman at SVA I was asked to wash some radishes in my Home Ec class. As you came over to check on my progess you were appalled that I was washing them in scalding hot water. You rescued the radishes by scooping them quickly out of the hot water and tossing them onto the counter. That did teach me something, even a vegetable deserves to be treated properly :). As just "one of those Carmody girl's" thank you for your...
