So sorry to hear of Helen's passing. Far too young!! She was such a talented young woman and her life and abundant talents were shared wherever she lived. My, the lives she touched! Blessings and peace to all of her family and to her good friends from LHS.

    I am just shocked at the news that Helen passed away!!!   I remember dating Helen a few times and I do remember that she was a fantastic person!   Always a great laugh and truly cheerful person.  Her father had a disability and now, in retrospect, I better understand why she was always cheerful.  I think she must have played a critical role with parents to keep them upbeat so to speak.

    And, of course, her performance in plays was always a big deal for her as she took her roles so seriously.  It is not surprising to me that she finished a master's degree in performaning arts.  I can also imagine her various activities in Grinnell!!!   A leader through example.  I will always have good memories ....  Thank you Helen for being an outstanding person!
