My condolences to family and friends of Helen. I had the pleasure of working with Helen at Mifflin Center when she came down to the gym for therapy. I graduated from Penn State in May and Helen was the very first patient I ever had on caseload (during fieldwork there). In fact, I hand-picked her due to our easy rapport. Helen was an absolute pleasure to work with. I will always remember her smile and the look of pride and pleasure on her face when we baked her chocolate cake during a therapy session. No doubt my family and friends will enjoy that recipe for years to come. I have been hired at Mifflin Center and am starting next week. The only downside is that Helen will not be there to add a special light to my day. My deepest sympathy.
