Dear Sisters of Good Shepherd...and I know that you are good shepherds to many. My sincere sympathy for your great loss of a wonderful woman, Helene Hayes. I only knew Helene when she contacted me for the Bakhita Initiative and told me about her interviews with victims of trafficking. I looked forward to reading the results of her research and of meeting her personally some day. May she rest in the peace of Christ.

for Helene:
Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is nigh.
Slan agus Beannacht. We will miss you greatly. Moe

Dear Sister John Mary Hayes, Sister Mary Ita Hayes and Sisters of the Good Shepherd Center,
I am so saddened to learn of Sister Helene's death.
While teaching at Boston College, I had the pleasure of getting to know Sister Helene, first as a student in one of the doctoral courses I taught and then as the chair of her dissertation and, later, the honor of writing the preface to her book.
I so very much respect how she seemed to approach all things, with wonderful humor, honesty and extraordinary competence, that I always felt were only surpassed by her deep and genuine commitment and passion to serve others. She touched my life and I know many others.
I will miss her.
I hope and trust that the memory of many good times with her and what she accomplished on behalf of so many people softens the loss to you and the Good Shepherd Sisters.
With respect and care,
Eric Kingson

What can I say.....the world has lost one of its angels. It is all of our loss! Sr. Helene was always there for me, being for me whatever I needed at different points in my life. Helping me to become the woman I am today. I was blessed to be a mount girl who has known unique and amazing people like Sr. Helene.

I recently had the joy of seeing Sr. Helene in May at our Mt. Florence/St. Germaine reunion. I am so thankful that the Lord gave me the opportunity to see her and to be able to speak to her and I know that I will see her and speak to her again in Heaven. My prayers go out to family and friends.

I knew Sister Helene (Mother as we called her) from 1969-1972 while living at St. Germaine's in Peekskill. In my minds eye she is always smiling. She loved us girls and we loved her right back. May she rest in peace and may God's love surround her family at this time.

Dear Sisters,
I knew Sr. Helene only briefly by means of her anti trafficking work but even that slight experience led to my being very inspired by and deeply honoring of her spirit, kindness and intelligence.
