With rue my heart is laden
For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a lightfoot lad.

By brooks too broad for leaping 
The lightfoot boys are laid;
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping
In fields where roses fade.

-A.E. Houseman

I hadn't know Hemla personally, But i did know and still kow her husband Fred, I'm totally in shock! I must have seen Hemla here at the library all the time's i used to come in and NEVER knew she was who she was, so when i heard about her passing today10/08/07, I just couldn't belive it. My condolences to my Friend Fred with whom i used to work with and i pray that GOD brings her to heaven and places her in our spirits and hearts while we still exist on this earth. My prayers are with you Fred and with Helma. God Bless you Fred, I love you as a friend. YOUR FRIEND JOHN TAKTEKOS

Helma had a great attitude. Her positive nature made work a pleasure for everyone.Even when situations were far from ideal she could find a silver lining and share it. She was wonderful with kids (including mine).She enjoyed being with them as much as they did her. She was a good friend and we will miss her very much.

Name :Ann Scott
Helma was kind. She always expressed interest in the people around her, and she exuded a sweetness and down to earth spirit that made one instantly feel liked and at home in her company. She was one of a kind.
