My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. I will surely miss the presence of a truly lovable and kind person. After working with Helen for a few years we lost touch. Then reconnecting at the London Knights games. Enjoyed our talks and getting caught up. May all your special and happy memories get you through this difficult time. Penny Richardson Hepting
