Dear Bernard, my sincere condolences on the passing of Helen. I worked with Helen on international projects at the IIRS during the early days when I enjoyed her fiesty good humour and benefited form her thoughtful advice and professionalism. Helen was an instigator of the annual reunion of colleagues at the HYC and NYC yacht clubs when she kept us up to date on the news. Due to an earlier commitment to a family birthday I regret missing her funeral service. May Helen rest in peace.

Condolences to Paddy & Bernard and both families on the sad passing of cousin Helen.
May Helen rest in peace 🌹

Yours,

Dear Bernard, I would like to have attended Helen's funeral but mobility issues prevented it. We were all colleagues together in the IIRS and she was much respected and loved. I also have fond memories of playing bridge with her and Phil Thornton in Ranelagh. I hope your memories will help you at this time.

Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a hanam! And my condolences to Bernard.
