I just heard today the sad news of the passing of Helen. I grew up next door to Helens family in Moyvoon. We are cousins.1973 was the last time Helen and I met and that was at the funeral of her aunt Mary in Oughterard. I will always remember Helen, as a kind and gentle lady. I wish to express my sympathy to Pat and Ann-Mick and Maureen and Josephine, and to all of Helens family and friends. From John James and Kerry Walsh and family. Victoria Australia.
