I had the honor of meeting Helga as I volunteered at the hospital this year. I remember a time when she was having a bad day. I asked her if I could pray with her. It seemed to give her comfort. The following week she said it gave her the strength to keep going that day. I enjoyed all our interactions. What a beautiful lady. My condolences to the entire family.
