Sad to hear of Helen's death. My sincere sympathy to her children.
She was 1957 Classmate and sat very close to me in our Home room (alphabetical) order.
Sincerely,
Carolyn (Hilligoss) Fisher

I just found out about Helen's death and am so sorry. I worked for all 8 years with Helen and always enjoyed her sense of humor and honesty. She was a very good friend and took interest in both my family and myself. I will remember her with great fondness.
