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. - Posted by: David and Lezlee Mc Cuaig (Retired Resident Managers at Edison Properties) on: Feb 11, 2013

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. - Posted by: Roberta Beach (neighbour) on: Feb 10, 2013
