OMG how sad. We never got to meet up and we were so near each other.

Sleep peacefully Helen.

My thoughts are with your family at this sad time.

Paignton

I have never ever really known what was the matter with Helen, just that she had breathing difficulties.

I am so so sorry to hear this news and my heart goes out to her family.

I really do not know what else to say.

Funny I have just been reading some of her lovely posts to me in my catastrophe thread from last Easter when my ceiling fell down

Pam7

So very sad. It's not often I'm lost for words

Helen truly kept us going behind the scenes. When the crap was hitting the fan and we were ready to jack it all in, we always said we couldn't as it meant so much to Helen.

She rang me on my birthday. She was SO breathless, but wanted to wish me happy birthday in person. She told me she didn't think she would still be here if it wasn't for the forum, it kept her going when she was feeling so bad.

R.I.P Helen, my mam xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the song that will never end,
I am the love of family and friend,
I am the child who has come to rest
In the arms of the Father
who knows him best.
When you see the sunset fair,
I am the scented evening air.
I am the joy of a task well done.
I am the glow of the setting sun.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

R I P Helen

How very sad.

My thoughts go out to her family. RIP Helen xxxxxxxxx

I'm in shock!!!

Things like this never happen to people you know. I know I never met her but I still feel as if I knew her.

RIP Helen.

My thoughts are with Helens family & friends.

Scarlett

So very sorry, a lovely woman and a good friend, and so much fun to have around.

A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.

A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.

A friend is like those blades of grass
you can never mow,
standing straight, tall, and proud
in a perfect little row.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.

Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend.

pedpolly

Rip Helen i am so sad to hear the news of the loss of one of our most beloved members, condolances to all her friends and family.

Shocked.....
Helen may you Rest In Peace

Theberrybrooks

God how terrible, I was really shocked when i read this,
I dont know what to say either,

I remember about a year ago i mentioned on the forum that i would love to be able to do all the really fancy things on here, like all the pics for peoples birthdays etc, Helen sent me a PM offering to help show me how to do it, I was so touched, a couple of pm's went back and forth, and although we never met I just knew she was a wonderful person,

God bless Helen, and Thank you
RIP

Well i don't know what to say.

Just come in and read this, i know that helen wasn't in the best of health and i know that she loved this forum and the people that she came in contact with.

I also know that she loved the cyprus forum on ht as we exchanged quite a few pm's about Cyprus when i was going last year.

She will be missed.

Another star for our bright sky, and one no doubt that tonight will be shinning over Cyprus.

Helen was universally loved and that makes me feel a lot better. I just hope there is some way her family may be able to take hope and heart from this in the future xx

In God's garden there was a space,
He needed an angel with a beautiful face.
He looked and nobody could he find,
one ever so special and kind.
Then he remembered he had you.
Come and took you away,
but in our hearts you will stay.
Love and remembered everyday

guest Ive received a message from Briar (HT) too, I dont think she will mind me copying it on here as she wanted it passed on, and its such a lovely message that I think everyone should read it.

Katy'sClan

We little knew this morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, when God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
The Friendship chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

shorty

Lovely poems everyone.

guest, that is a lovely pm. I received one from Briar too that was lovely. maybe now we can heal the rift.

I have been SO touched by pm's from both ht and hc...helen was simply universally loved.

fiona

Helen's death has shocked so many people. Her posts showed her to be a kind and caring person. I know how upset her friends here must be but you must take some comfort in the fact that you were obviously a great support to her throughout her illness. That will have meant a lot to her. My thoughts are with her family and all her friends.

From the mountains and the glens we are on the march again
Sounding out the battle cries so famous
And we're here to stake our claim, we're the greatest in the game
As we rally, rally, rally round The Rangers

From the valleys we have come to the sound of beating drum
Marching under Glasgow Rangers' banner
And we'll hoist the Union Jack on the slopes of Ibrox Park
As we rally, rally, rally round The Rangers.

bluebabe a wee poem from your team

helen may you now rest in peice

irene

another of your favourites helen
rabbie burns
O, my luve is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June.
O, my luve is like a melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I,
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt WI the sun!
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands O life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel, a while!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho it were ten thousand mile!

Alsacienne

May God comfort and strengthen Helen's family and friends. Her pain is over, and we are left with happier memories. RIP.

maggie

What ever we were to each other, we still are.
Please call me by my old familliar name. Speak of me in the way you always did. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh, as we always laughed, at the little jokes we enjoyed together.Play, smile and pray for me.
Let my name be the household name it always was, spoken without the shadow of a ghost in it
Life means all it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was, death is inevitable, so why should i be out of mind because i am out of sight?

bobian

I was very shocked to read this sad news about Helen....I knew she was poorly but had no idea....I would just like to pass on my thoughts to her family and friends....she really did seem to be a truly wonderful lady, and it is obvious that she somehow touched a lot of people on this forum in such a positive way. To Helen - a special lady.

Acorncup

Alsacienne you're right, she's not suffering now, and we should be happy for her being at peace

and remember all the good things and happy memories

Helen was a wonderful person who always had time for me, someone who
gave
me hope that I could one day grow up to be a good person and be as
loved
by family & friends as she is. May she rest in peace & know she is in
my
thoughts now as she has been throughout her illness. Sadly the good
ones
are taken away way too soon.

I was so shocked earlier, when guest rang to give me this sad news.
How very sad for Helens Family. My thoughts and prayers are with them xxx
She was a true, sweet, lady.An angel & now she's got her wings. RIP Helen

We have sent a dove to heaven, with a parcel on it's wings,

To show how much we'll miss you, helen,
And send you all our love. xxxxxx

I never knew this lady but have been told that she was a lovely lady by Gail and that she wasn't aware that this was terminal. It sounds like she was also a brave lady for not letting on. All I can do is to add my sympathies for her family and all that knew her.

It still has,nt sunk in yet , Helen joined hc the first day the same as me i think she was number 8 0n the member list but with every member on here she was a number one . I along with others had not got a clue she was so unwell and she will be really missed.I cant bring myself to post in any of the other topics because the sun just is not shining on our site today.

Guest1

Incredibly brave and dignified; if Helen knew she was on limited time. How easy would it have been to bathe herself in sympathy by making the severity of her illness known.
At least she is at rest from what must have been a perpetual struggle for life.
She was obviously a universaly much-loved lady. I feel i have personaly 'missed out' by not knowing her.

Chris. Your 'text' thing is very heart-warming........just sending a message of love out into the ether, where your friend is picking them up.

For some reason, i feel today is blacker than yesterday.

my condolances to the family of this lovely woman. i hope people don,t mind me posting this extract from a song.

Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't wanna see you cry
I know this is not goodbye.

PeterRayner

Can I add my sincere condolances to Helens family and to all her many friends.

Though wise (wo)men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Sleep tight hunny

Adieu, farewell, earth's bliss;
This world uncertain is;
Fond are life's lustful joys;
Death proves them all but toys;
None from his darts can fly;
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Rich men, trust not in wealth,
Gold cannot buy you health;
Physic himself must fade.
All things to end are made,
The plague full swift goes by;
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Beauty is but a flower
Which wrinkles will devour;
Brightness falls from the air;
Queens have died young and fair;
Dust hath closed Helen's eye.
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Strength stoops unto the grave,
Worms feed on Hector brave;
Swords may not fight with fate,
Earth still holds open her gate.
"Come, come!" the bells do cry.
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Wit with his wantonness
Tasteth death's bitterness;
Hell's executioner
Hath no ears for to hear
What vain art can reply.
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

Haste, therefore, each degree,
To welcome destiny;
Heaven is our heritage,
Earth but a player's stage;
Mount we unto the sky.
I am sick, I must die.
Lord, have mercy on us!

But I am sure she will be watching over us all.

I lost a very close friend at christmas aged just 28 and helen was one of the first to pass on her sympathy on the thread i posted she was so caring. The poems for her are so moving i am sure if her family read this they will be touched and know how much we will really miss her. The internet gets a lot of bad press but sites like this show that there is also a very good side to it and some very nice people too...like Helen

McBabe

When I saw the title I thought 'Oh god no' I didn't want to look.

Helen was lovely, she used to be often on late and she was always sympathetic of everyones little complaints but she never moaned about her illness, I knew it would be a struggle for her to get to Leeds and I admired her guts for even attempting it when she wasn't well, I was looking forward to meeting her.

for Helen

welshoney

sitting here reading this with tears streaming down my face. I never met helen but was going to meet in her in cyprus in July.

My thoughts are with her family.
Hope they can gain a bit of comfort in all the lovely mesages on here, and know that a special lady touched all of our hearts and she will be very much missed but never forgotten.
