Helens’ family

I was so heart broken to read about your Mom. I will miss her dearly at food basics where we always had a wonderful chat, and I would give her my extra masks all the time. I would always tell her that we needed to keep her safe. A right chuckle when Helen would say to me. “ I am going to swans cove”. Helen would always say that sound more exotic than the name of the town. Tarzwell. Rest well dear Helen, I will never forget you. Love. Robin

Helen was an amazing lady, and I feel privileged to have known her as I would take Helen and my mom shopping. Your mother blessed so many people with her faith and kindness. Praying that you’ll find comfort in you memories of her and in the knowledge that others are missing her, too.
With warm thoughts and prayers,
Trudy

My thoughts and prayers are with both of you during this difficult time. I have many fond memories growing up next door until you moved to Iroquois Falls from Montrock and even afterwards. Cherish the memories and know she has been reunited with your dad.

I was very saddened to hear of your Mother's passing. Helen was such a wonderful lady and great neighbour. I remember many good time's spent at the lake with our family and yours. A beautiful Angel now walks beside you. Keep your memories close to your heart.

I wish I could capture all the wonderful memories of your mother in this note, but words can't describe how truly amazing she was. Her strength, spirit, independence and kindness were what I adored most. She was always there for my family of which I'm forever grateful. My heart is with you always. She will be truly missed

Lynda, Peter and Matthew

I was shocked to hear of such a wonderful lady's passing.

There are so many people now with the most incredible angel in their pocket.

Her kindness, thoughtfulness and gift of bringing joy to others will never be forgotten.

Lynda I know you will remember my favourite memory of your Mom.

Many years ago on Canada Day I found myself in New Liskeard with a ruptured appendix requiring emergency surgery.
My husband had to return home after the surgery so I was left there alone.

The following morning I woke up with the sun streaming through through the windows while a beautiful lady lady sat there with a little bag full of what I considered luxury items at the time.

She knew how to spread joy and her smile lit up the room.

I will never forget that day nor will I ever forget her.

My deepest condolences to you all.
