My sympathies go to Helen's family. Like Nancy, I worked with Helen in the Medical Transcription Department at HMC. Helen taught me a lot about the intricacies of medical transcription as I learned on the job. She was always ready to help, and we shared many lighthearted moments.

I am sad to hear of Helen's passing. We worked together at the Medical Center for quite a few years and shared the same cubicle in the office. We had a lot of laughs! With much sympathy to Helen's family. Nancy Supko

It was hard for my wife Susanne Landa Moliere and I to go from such a happy occasion as our 55th H.S. reunion held last Saturday to come home to Virginia to receive such sad news from two of Helen's and our classmates, Cindy Fleming Garon and Donna Bastedo Motto. The Class of 1960 is known as the Class of Champions, we were all tight and each other's back. Helen was a Champion and will be missed. She, Donna and I were all confirmed in the old Immaculate Conception Church in Clinton. Helen is in a better place with rolling hills and pastures like the Hunterdon we all grew up in.
Our prayers and thoughts are with Helen's family. Johnny & Sue
