Can't believe how quickly time goes by...2 years already. Helen is surely missed by all who knew her and we were blessed to be among the lucky people to call her friend. She will always have a special place in our hearts.

Helen was one of a kind. Her motto to focus in life on the doughnut instead of the hole describes her optimistic view of everything. Lunches with Helen and discussions and laughs at "the Library" were such fun! To Helen´s family-May God comfort your heart.
