My sympathy to Mrs. Slapak's family. She was my kindergarten teacher in 1960 at St. Turibius. She was an amazing teacher and person. Whenever I saw her she would remember me even when I was in high school. She always made you feel special and loved.

Mrs. Slapak was such a wonderful lady. She is a very special warm memory to so many "kids" from St. Turibius. My sincere sympathy to her family.

Helene was dearly loved by all of us at Incarnation because she was a holy woman of great faith, kindness, and love. She will be missed. I know she is now at peace with God in a most wonderful place. Love and God bless to her family. Alice Doherty
