We're thinking of Helen with much love on her birthday. You're here forever in our hearts Helen, your light shines brightly on and on. Kirstin, John, Tina and Jenny xxxx

When I think about Helen, I mostly think about her energy, love and peace. I think of her vibrant energy showing through her joyful smile, her big hugs and her warmth and friendliness. Her energy showed in the way she would take on new challenges, extending herself to help and inspire other people. It showed in her organisational skills, her ability to get things done and make things happen. Then I think about the love that Helen showed for, and welcomed from, her family, her friends - old and new, and for life itself. She made the most of the moments she had with people, making the moments and the people feel special. Finally, when I think about Helen, I think about peace, about Helen finding her own peace and sharing this peacefulness with those around her. When I think about Helen, I not only think about her energy, love and peace, I can feel them too. This is Helen's amazing and lasting legacy. Thank you Helen, love always, your cuz Kirstin xx

I carry your heart with me(I carry it in my heart) I am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) I fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)I want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you Here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart) Edward Estlin Cummings
