Not sure what to say?

I had the great fortune of working with Helen on the planning committee for our Veteran Feminists of America Connecticut conference in 2005. Helen mentored me in networking with feminists from all over the nation and across generations. The legacy of work that Helen did for women and families in Connecticut is truly invaluable and I hope to continue that in her memory. My condolences to her family and friends, may she rest in peace...

For Jason and your family,

My deep sympathy on your loss of Helen. I knew her through the Connecticut Women's Political Caucus in the 1970's, the family courts in Hartford and New Britain in the 1980's, and most recently shared dinner with Helen and Jason at the University of Connecticut Law School reunion last year.

May your memories comfort you.

Our thoughts and prayers, are with you Jason and your wonderful family.
We have such fond and wonderful memories of you both as the BEST of neighbors, you treated us "like family"
Helen will be sorely missed, and is a great loss to us all.
Our prayers, thoughts, as heartfelt sympathy goes out to you,
Jason, and your wonderful family.
Peace be with you, and know that you are in our daily thoughts and prayers.

Helen was still organizing candidate debates for the LWV long after most people would have declared themselves to be invalids. The entire League is going to miss her expertise and drive, and I'm going to also miss her friendship and her willingness to argue - strongly but politely - for what she believed in.

Jason and Family,

I was sorry to learn of Helen's passing. What an extraordinary woman she was. I had the privilege of working with Helen in the Family Courts, and admired particularly her work as a Special Master. It was truly a pleasure to know her and an honor to practice law with her.

Her legacy is extraordinary.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Jason, and your wonderful family. May Helen rest in peace and be a blessing to all who knew her, loved her and appreciated her life's work.

My condolences to the family. Helen was such a help to me acting as my lawyer during a difficult time in my life. Her knowledge and ability were really appreciated.

Truly sorry for your loss. Last time I saw Helen and Jason Pearl was when they were leaving the movie theatre holding hands. My thoughts and prayers are will you and your family.

My deepest condolences on Helen's passing. Helen was such a wonderful person and a delight to be with. I have many fond memories of political discussions, elections, and election nights. My thoughts and prayers to Helen and the Pearl family.
