Condolences to all the family. A wonderful talented lady who left a very big mark on our family.
Visited her in Blenheim and talked and laughed about old times.
One New Years Eve she told me her New Year resolution was to say NO when asked to do things and feel good about it. Don't think she ever did this, I don't think she could. Many memories of hard work, travel and fun times.
Time to rest now Helen.
