I had the honor and privilege of working with Helen at Conley, Zohn & Needles in the 1970's. She taught me so much and did it with her quiet grace and dignity. She was one of the most wonderful people I've ever known. My prayers are with her family. This is a great loss for them.

Dear Dan and Barb, We are thinking of you today and want to send our condolences to Dan and the family. It seems that no matter how old we are when we lose a parent, we still feel like we have suddenly become an orphan. Our thoughts are with you and have a safe trip home.
