A giant of Speech and Drama, Helen has taught our two dear daughters, Cindy and Chantelle to become very accomplished speakers, through STAC. We feel so grateful to Helen! Helen has taught so many students, achieved so much, in so difficult times! She is truly amazing that her influence will continue for generations!
Have peace now, and rest well!
We all miss you!!!
