The fondest memories I have bring me back to Girl Scouts and the impact your mother’s grace and inspiration had on me. Great time, Great Lady, Great Memories… my love and condolences to the entire Hemma family.
I remember Helen when I worked with Fairfax County CPS. She always maintained her calm in the midst of chaos. Her smile and positive nature will never be forgotten. It was a blessing to have worked with her. My prayers are with you at this difficult time. You will have many good memories of Helen to hold in your hearts forever.

Dear Mary Jo, Sherry, and Meredith, I worked with your mom for many years in the Child Protective Services Hotline and will never forget what a wonderful person she was. She was our “mom” as well! She was there for us when we all started getting married and having babies. She was warm, kindhearted, strong and fun to be around. She talked about you three all the time! She was so proud of you.
Meredith, Lew, and family, my condolances are with you all and in my thoughts and prayers…..Sandy Sullivan
To all of Helen’s family, I worked with your mother for many years at Child Protective Services. She was a kind, sweet, and lovely woman – something I don’t need to tell you. She always had a smile and kind word for anyone coming into the office from a rough day in the field. Although we missed her when she left, we knew she would be spending more time with the family she loved so much. I know you are all supported in your loss by knowing what a great mother, grandmother, etc. you had.
Meredith & Lew- My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May the great memories with your mother help comfort your heart.
I too worked with Helen at Fairfax Co. Child Protective Services for many years. What a sweetie! Helen had the charm and grace of a true Southern lady…gentle but with a backbone of steel! I can never remember a time where she gossiped or complained…she just did her work, sometimes under extraordinary circumstances, and provided support to us all. We have frequently spoken of her since she retired, and will miss her even more now.
Mari Jo – I have been trying to find you for years, and only since I have found the Internet have I been able to find you. I just found out about your mother and daughter. Your mother was such a light in this world, even though it has been so long since I have seen her. My mother passed away in September of 2012, so I know the heartache, even though we know they are in a beautiful place now, and will see them again. I am so sorry for both of your losses. If you read this, please contact me – I truly would like to get in contact with you again. My email is semberski@aol.com. Again, all my love and prayers for you and your family, Judie Goldstein Semberski
