Not sure what to say?

So many fond memories of Dr Helen Nash. My family that consists of my three adult sons and two grandchildren, who are now patients of Dr. Alison Nash. We will always be a part of the Nash family. Rest on in HIS arms Dr. Helen Nash you will always be remembered by me and my family...always..

Dr. Nash was a dynamic force in my life; a mother figure who encouraged me to strive for excellence. She inspired me to pursue education and travel, always challenging me to be a whole person. I am blessed to have had her as my pediatrician and friend.
Best wishes to the Nash family. May Jesus comfort you today and in the days to come.

Dr. Nash was a great example for what physicians should be and can accomplish for their patients and their community. She was the pediatrician for our first two boys from her office at Jefferson and Cass. She noticed that we were having trouble managing the older boy and "required" us to attend her evening group sessions where she taught all of those attending how to properly discipline and manage the "power struggle". Ever since those days in the early 70's I have marveled at her strength...

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Peace and Love.

Dr. Helen Nash was my pediatrician as a young child and all through college. Not only was she a caring physician, but also a friend. If not, for Dr. Nash I'm certain I would not have attended Spelman College, her Alma Mater.

While there I came across an edition of the Spelman Messenger, with her student photo inside and presented it to her at her home. She smiled and was very appreciative. I will miss her kindness and generosity. To the family, I wish you God's Grace.

RIP to a great contributor to our rich St. Louis
history.

May God bless you all...

God has called one of his own home. He certainly greeted her at the gates of heaven with "Well done. In you, I am well pleased". What child enjoyed going to the doctor? As a "Dr. Nash" baby, I did. My condolences to the family. She touched many lives including mine.
