Helen worked with Dream Lake Elementary while I was the music teacher. I remember her sweet smile, her encouraging spirit and her wonderful children. Had I received the notice of her death sooner I would have definitely been at the service to honor her. She was a blessing – and a very special part of my memories of Dream Lake and Apopka!
