Helen touched many hearts over the years with her ever joyful spirit and delightful and unique perspective on life.

Her family would like to thank the many dedicated teachers Helen had over the years and also the physicians and staff at MUSC for the excellent and compassionate care provided to Helen. They also thank everyone at First (Scots) Presbyterian Church who reached out to Helen and made her feel so welcome there. She dearly loved her church and had an unshakable faith. Special thanks go out to Helen's devoted friend and mentor Kimberly Satriale.
