Sending deepest sympathy to Helen´s family on your very sad loss of a such a special girl. I had known Helen since High School, then our Mum´s played Indoor Bowls together, and in recent years we had many lovely chats at the Church Street Hospice Shop. I will remember Helen as always being bright, bubbly, caring and fun xoxo

Dear Al and family, my condolences to you all. Helen open her arms and house to me, sat and laughed and cried with me and we enjoyed many wines together. Sitting in deck chairs on opposite sides of the road during lockdown having a laugh.
You will be remembered fondly my friend.
