Although I only knew Helen during the time she lived at Luther Heights she became quite dear to me. We worked together to tidy up the library and enjoyed many laughs as we weeded the collection. Her idea, which made sense to me given the context of a seniors' library, was to remove all books which were too heavy to lift or which had print that was too small. But Helen, that's a well reviewed book, i would say. Who's going to read it, she would ask, and I, a professionally trained librarian, was stumped. Who would, indeed? Added to this wonderful experience of life in a seniors' independent living complex with Helen was our involvement in the Writer's Group and our conversations over dinner. Her writing was honest, vivid and enriching and she loved to talk. I miss her, and send my deepest sympathy to her beloved family. .Sincerely, Anne Smart
