Dear Phil and Family,
My deepest condolences to you all. I just saw Helen the first week of August while on vacation in Ogunquit. Helen, Phil, Lynn and I shared a glass of champagne to celebrate my retirement. As always we took the occasion to get caught up on events, family, and of course politics, the latter we quite often did not agree on. Helen was the most 'saintly' person I have ever met, good to the core of her being. I will miss her, her incredibly infectious laugh, her intelligence, and her spirit. When Helen gave you a hug you knew you were blessed.
With Love,
Claire

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of Helen's relatives, as well as her Saint Elizabeth's Hospital School of Nursing "family." She truly was a remarkable person, Nurse and Mentor. She was an asset to the Nursing Profession and her legacy will live on in all of us who had the honor and privilege of being a St. E's grad.

If it hadn't been for Helen Fagan, I'd still be ringing a register at First National. Her patience and understanding, but mostly her example, set her apart from anyone I've ever known; and I am grateful.
