Helen was wonderful always cheerful full of laughter. Her memory was spectacular she could keep track of all figures in a card game, we puzzled together, we enjoyed Christmas she loved to hear music and be surrounded by people.

My sympathies to the family. My family were neighbours on Melbourne for many years, and Helen was friends with my parents. I most remember her generosity in sharing some of her beautiful multicoloured irises with me - they are still growing in my garden after two decades.
