Not sure what to say?

I am so sad to hear about the passing of dear Helen, my mentor. I had the privilege of starting my research career with her and I could not have asked for a better teacher. I will always remember her gentle touch, her smarts, and her ease with people. She was a pioneer and an inspiration and set an excellent example for young women. She will be terribly missed.

I had the privilege of being taught by Dr. Reinherz at Simmons School of Social Work back in the 1980's. She helped her students, focused on learning clinical skills, to understand and appreciate the importance of research- and even (despite their uncertainty) to do research of their own. She was an accomplished teacher, clinician, scholar and researcher- and a kind and refined presence for us all.

Dr Helen Reinherz was an exceptional woman...professional ...friend...scholar.....I will always treasure her guidance. She was clearly one of a kind...A loss to all of us who had the pleasure of her friendship...
