Dear Duncan Senior, Duncan, Bruce, Cameron, Andrew and families, what a wonderful tribute to your beautiful Helene and mum. Such a significant person throughout my lifetime. I have treasured her from childhood, events at church, bookclub days, down at the yards, her stories of going to school with her sisters and my Dad, the mischievousness she and Betty used to get up to in the Mitta River, your time at Beith as a family, her stories of my grandparents, the times we just chatted at her home with Duncan, at the Tallangatta Show, sharing stories about our ponies / horses and the so many joyful occasions at the Fernvale Hall. I’m so glad we got to see them both on their wedding anniversary before Christmas and am so sorry we couldn’t come home with Mum to celebrate your mum but relieved we could watch this beautiful celebration of her life on line. Very much thinking of you all at this sad time and sending a huge hug and love to all, especially your Dad. Christie P x From Beith on Noorrongong

So sad to hear Helene went so quickly, such a shock for all of us. I got to know them as a home care worker, for a few years. She was a well preserved lady, very pleasant & easy to chat to. No doubt you have been taught many things & overtime you will treasure her memories. From Denise kirk
