I met Helen at Messick High School and we shared a couple of classes together. I remember her as being very friendly with a good sense of humor. We did a project once in an English class and I went to her lovely family home off Southern Avenue to work on it. I have fond memories of that day. Thanks to the wonders of facebook, we found each other again after many years and did some catching up. I was so sorry to hear of her death and extend my deepest sympathies to her family and all those who loved her.
