And extended families
My sincere sympathy and sadness
On recently hearing of the death of both
PARENTS
REST IN PEACE HELMI AND SÈAMUS
CASEY FAMILY

Sorry to hear of the loss of your mother and grandmother. May she rest in peace.

To Colm, Sorcha, Roisin, Cliona and Eoin.
My heartfelt condolences to you all for the loss of your loving mam and dad. I only heard this week so my apologies for not being in touch. We had so many great trips over the years and your mam was always in the heart of it all, may they both rest in peace.

Colm, bhí an-brón orm cloisteáil faoi Helmi, bhí mo mháthair Gretta an-cheanúil uirthi, agus ba bhreá léi bualadh léi don lón.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam caoin.

Colm and family. My deepest sympathy to you all after the passing of your dear Mum Helmi. So soon after your dear Dad. RiP. Thinking of you all at this time.

Comhbhrón ó chroí don chlann agus cáirde Helmi uilig. Cuimhne deas ar turas ag an nGearmáin léi, siύlóidí agus eachtraí Chumann Aisling na blianta ó shin. Beannachtaí dílis Dé lena hAnam uasal.

Chomhbhrón ó chroí ar bhás Helmi, go háirithe chomh luath taréis bás Shéamus. Bhíomar araon i dteannta Helmi i gCumann Aisling fadó. Is cuimhin linn í gcónai timpeal na Nollag an maisiú le ivy and coinnle dearg a thug áilleacht caisléan don tigín simplí! Bhí grá speisialta aici don dúlra í bhfad sar a raibh sé coitianta in Eirinn. Suaimhneas siorai duit, a Helmi uasal.

Déanaim comhbhrón le muintir Saidléar ar bhás Helmi. Chuireas aithne ar Helmi na blianta ó shin i nGaelscoileanna. Bean stuama lách a bhí inti agus bhaineas taitneamh as a comhluadar. Go mbeidh leaba i measc na Naomh aici.

Deepest condolences to Cliona and all the family on the sad passing of your Mum. We are thinking of you all at this very sad time. May she rest in peace.

Déanaim comhbhrón lena clann ar bhás Helmi, bean uasal, lách a rinne níos mó ná a cion chun saol na Gaeilge a shaibhriú le croí agus le hanam. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam caoin.

Dear Eoin and the Saidléar family,

My sincere sympathy on the passing of your dear Mum and Dad.
May you always find comfort with many special memories.My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Go raibh suaimhneas síoraí ag do mham agus d"athair

Sincere sympathies to all the Saidléar family on the loss of your dear mam and dad. Thinking of you all at this very difficult time and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to Colm and all the Saidléar Family. Suaimhneas siorraí dí.

Deepest Sympathy to Eoin and family on the very sad passing of your Mum so soon after your Dads passing, may they both rest in peace.

Eoin, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother and your Dad also. May your parents rest in peace.

Mo chomhbhrón ó chroí do chlann Saidléar go léir ar bhás Helmi. Solas na bhFlaitheas dá hanam agus leaba imeasc na naomh.

To Eoin, I am really sorry to learn of the passing of your dear mam and sadly too I wasn't aware of the passing of your dad in recent times.

Please be assured of my thoughts and prayers as you and your family grieve the loss of two parents in such short time of eachother.

Ar dheis De go raibh a hanam dilis go deo.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Helmi,

My thoughts are with the Saidléar and Pütz families at this sad time.

Ich sende Euch allen mein Beileid

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam

Comhbhrón libh uilig ar bhás Shéamas agus Helmi. Is deacair an rud é an bheirt acu a chailliúint chomh cóngarach le chéile. Le dea ghuí ó Cháit Mhic Ionnraic agus an chlann.

Ba mhór an pléisiúr agus an phribhléid é aithne a chur ar Helmi na blianta ó shin i Scoil Chaoimhín agus ina dhiaidh sin i nGaelscoileanna. Ba bhean chumasach í a bhí dearfach agus dóchasach an t-am ar fad, tréithe a d'fhág gur thaitneamhach an comhluadar í i rith an ama. Bhí cúlra ar leith ag Helmi agus chuidigh an cúlra sin léi aghaidh a thabhairt ar an saol le misneach ar leith. Thóg sí féin agus Séamus clann bhreá agus déanaimid comhbhrón ó chroí leosan anois tráth seo an bhróin.

Comhbhrón ó chroí. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam.

Our deepest sympathies to you all on your loss. May you be surrounded by love and light at this most difficult time. May they rest in peace together.

So sorry for your loss Eoin and family. Your mum was a lovely lady. We had great times in the dance group and she always helped everyone. Thinking of you all at this sad time

Mo chomhbhrón libh arís in achar chomh gearr sin.

Eoin, I am so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of your dear Mam and indeed your Dad also. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult time. May your dear Mam Rest in Eternal Peace reunited with your Dad.

Deepest sympathies to the whole family. Thinking of you all at this sad time. May she rest in peace.

Comhbhrón le Muintir Saidléar ar fad ar bhás Helmi. Saol fiúntach curtha di aici le dínit. Go raibh solas na bhflaithis anois agat i measc ealaíontóirí an domhan mhór, agus Séamus le do thaobh.

Colm, very sorry to hear the news of your Mother's passing, so close to your Dad's passing. May they both rest in peace together. My deepest condolences to you and the Saidléar family.

Róisín I am so sorry for all your sadness!

Our deepest condolences to Eoin and family on the passing of your beloved Mum, may Helmi rest in peace. Thinking of you all at this sad time.

Comhbhron o chroi ar bhas Helmi. Is cinnte go bhfuil sibh go leir croibhriste. Ta si ar ais le Seamus aris. Grasta De leo.

Comhbhrón ó chroí le muintir Helmi. Cuimhnímid ar an obair mhór a rinne Helmi ar son an Oireachtais ar feadh na mblianta, don Taispeántas Ealaíne go háirithe. Duine uasal, geanúil, cróga, agus guímid suaimhneas síoraí uirthi.

Dear Cliona, sincere condolences to you all on the passing of your mum, Helmi.RIP.

I’m so sorry for you Eoin and family! Helmi was always so kind to me and a a fab dancer. I’ll always remember her in the dance group dancing rings around me! Thinking of you all ❤️

Ah Eoin and all of the Saidléar family. I’m so very sorry to hear about your mum. Who for many years was part of our wider family whilst we danced across European, a beautiful, kind and gentle soul who I have so many lovely memories of. Thinking of you all at such a sad time, Suaimhneas síoraí uirthi ❤️❤️❤️

Tá fíor bhrón orm a chloisteáil faoi bhás Helmi, bean íontach, lách, séimh a d'oibrigh go dian dícheallach ar son Féile an Oireachtais agus na Gaeilge agus a fear céile Séamus atá ins na flaithis roimpi. Suaimhneas síoraí dóibh beirt.

A true lady. My sincere condolences to Eoin and to all of Helmi's family and friends. I have such fond memories of the many Dublin Folk Dance trips with Helmi. I loved hearing the stories of her childhood. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann. Codladh sámh i measc na n-aingeal Helmi

Dear Clíona, I was so sorry to hear this sad news, my condolences to you and your family.

Deepest sympathy to all the Saidlear family .So sorry to hear of helmi passing.
She was a lovely lady such a talent
And it was a pleasure to have known her .R.I.P Helmi

Deepest sympathy to Clíona and family on the loss of your beloved mother Helmi. So difficult for you all coming so soon after your father’s death. Comhbhrón ó chroí.

Clíona & family, heartfelt condolences on your sudden loss, sending you love and strength at this heartbreaking time.

Comhbhrón ó chroí le clann gaolta agus cairde uilig Helmi. Chuireas aithne uirthi nuair a bhí sí le Gaelscoileanna. Bhíodh sí a faire amach don fhoireann agus na hoifigigh go léir. Bean uasal. Bhí sí gaelach go smior agus ba phribhléid a bheith ina teannta ag ócáid ar bith. Slán abhaile go Séamus sna flaithis a Helmi agus codladh sámh ann.

Is oth liom go mór cloisteáil go bhfuair Helmi Putz (mar a bhí aithne agam uirthi i dtús) bás. Chomh maith le bheith sna Teaghlaigh Gaelacha le chéile bhí sí ina mhúinteoir ealaíne agam sa mheán scoil i nDún Laoghaire. Bean álainn lách a bhí innti. Comhbhrón ó chroí libh uilig as bás Helmi agus Séamus. Máirín agus Leo

Duine iontach briomhar Helmi i gconai.

Ár gcomhbhrón ó chroí le clann agus le cairde Helmi. Chaitheas blianta fada ag obair léi i nGAELSCOILEANNA mar a bhí, Gaeloideachas anois, sgus ba bhean iontach chliste, spraíoul, cairdiúil í. D'inis sí scéal a beatha dom uair amháin ar thuras ón gcruinniú cinn bhliana in Iarthar Chorcaí ar ais go BÁC agus bhíos faoi gheasa aici ar feadh na n-uaireanta a chloig ag éisteacht leis na heachtraí go léir. Ba crann taca na heagraíochta í agus í ag obair ar son an ghaeloideachais agus crann taca a clainne freisin. Ba mhór ár meas uirthi. Go dté tú slán a Helmi agus leaba i measc na naomh tuilte agat.

Sincere sympathies to Clíona and all the Saidléar family on the loss of your dear mam and dad. Thinking of you all at this very difficult time and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha.

I ndíl chuimhne ar Helmí. Bhí aithne agam ar Helmí ar feadh na blianta agus í ag obair go deonach i ngluaiseacht na Gaeilge i mBaile Átha Cliath. Bean uasal i gcónaí.

Suaimhneas síoraí dá hanam

Colm, it is with great sadness that I heard the news of you mother. We are thinking of you at this time. Ger, Grace & Andrew

My heartfelt condolences to you, Sorcha, and all of the Saidlears, so soon after the loss of your father.
May your mother's beautiful soul be joined with Seamus in eternal love.
Love knows no bounds.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
“Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam”

Helmi Saidléar’s adult life revolved round her husband Séamus and her five children, and while her death is sad and a blow to all who knew her, it seems fitting somehow that she should have died just a fortnight after Séamus Saidléar’s death, and his funeral in Glasnevin which she attended. Her unexpected death is a shock to all of us who knew her, but particularly of course to the children, whom she cared for over so many years and who in turn cared for her, and to her grandchildren. Born in Cologne, she came to Ireland as one of the German refugee children after World War II and grew up in the home of War of Independence veteran Ailbhe Ó Monncháin and his wife. It was they who gave her her love of the Irish language, which was one of the things that bound her to Séamus Saidléar, whom she married in 1967. Helmi and Séamus always spoke to one another in Irish. When the children were young, Helmi and they were active in Irish dancing circles and took part in folk-dancing exhibitions in some of the main cities of Europe. All those who knew her will miss Helmi. We shall miss her. May we send our sympathy and commiserations to all the other members of the Saidlear family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam.
