Thoughts from Lolly Swensen Forsberg
February 4, 2010

Helen Fall was one adult in my childhood that I remember so fondly. One clear memory was when Judy and I were leaving Ocean Road School one day and Helen had come by car. She offered me a ride home. I had been badly verbally abused by someone that day and I was tearful in the back seat of the car. Helen was still waiting for Judy to come. She turned around and looked toward me and said," You are a fine person and you did nothing wrong. Don't ever get upset when someone speaks to you like that. Stand up and say 'I don't have to take that from someone like you.'and simply walk away. But...don't let them upset you. Be one step above that." I have always remembered that. Most of all, that Helen was treating me with respect and also telling me to have respect for myself. My regards to Judy and Bob. May Helen rest in peace. Lolly Forsberg
