Helena Habte-Gabr

I was friends with Helena at Michigan State-we were RA´s together. She was bright, kind, funny, warm, classy and just a wonderfully unique person. I was not surprised to hear of her career success-one could see that coming, even back then. I am heartbroken to hear of her passing. All my best to her family.
