Hello I only heard yesterday of Helens passing . Please accept my deepest condolences. I work in Arboretum Kilquade where Helen was a regular customer . We always had a little chat & I was aware of her illness but she was always so positive . She loved her plants & flowers. I will miss her friendly greetings . So sorry for your loss Anne

We're so very sorry to hear of Helen's passing. She always greeted us with a smile and a friendly chat, and was a pleasure to look after.
Sending love and strength to her many loved ones xx

So saddened to hear Helen has passed. Very happy memories going back very many years. I left Ireland 52 years ago but still connected over the years. Condolences Ray to you and your family. Enjoyed when you visited us in Toronto and in Florida. Will keep Helen in my memory as I last saw her and a great person. A true loss to all.

Deepest sympathies to Ray and family on the passing of Helen. A great lady to work with always a kind word to say about everyone. R.I.P.

Karen , I was so sorry to hear of your Mum's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. In deepest sympathy

Ray and family ,my sincere sympathy on the departure from this life of dear Helen. She was my dear friend for years. Because I am in Spain I am feeling her loss more keenly than if I was nearby,

We celebrate Helen's life, fondly remembering her warm, caring personality, her zest for life, and that inspiring courage she showed throughout her illness.

Our deepest sympathy to Ray and the family she loved so much.
Helen has left us all a legacy of precious memories.

I’m very sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. My deepest condolences to you and all your family.

Ray,

Very sorry to hear of Helen's passing and my sympathy on your great loss.

Helen's warmth, integrity and ladylike qualities never wavered: and neither did the admiration and affection, both individial and collective, that her former work colleagues had for her.

May she Rest in Peace.

Our deepest sympathies to you Ray and your family. I discovered this poem at my Mom's passing and I believe it speaks for Helen as well.
God Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put His arms around you
And whispered "Come to me."

With tearful eyes we watched you
As you slowly slipped away
And though we loved you dearly
We couldn't make you stay.

Your golden heart stopped beating
Your tired hands put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

by Frances and Kathleen Coelho
