I worked with Helen at Whitney Street School, I worked with a disabled boy and often was involved in a class that Helen taught. I found Helen an amazing teacher and very empathetic. We had a close connection and I was so sad to hear of her passing and want to pass on my condolences to Mark, Nick and the family, I am thinking of them all. Rest peacefully Helen.
