Comments I have a curio cabinet filled with porcelain dolls I made at doll class with Helen. I drove out to Greenfield for her classes for several years. I learned so much from her " and now have a love for dolls especially the vintage ones.The news of her passing is very sad but I know she lived a full life working right up to the end. She was loved by her large family. I can't imagine her not working in her doll hospital. She was so talented and a good teacher and person. I am sorry for your loss.
