I knew Helena when she owned Mirkwood and remember her as a kind and compassionate person. I was also her massage therapist for awhile and because we shared an interest in good health, we had many interesting conversations. Our busy lives took us in different directions and I lost track of her when she left Mirkwood.



I am sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace and may her peace be yours.
