Lovely to keep seeing you Steve and Tom at special occasions in St Mary's and remembering you and the family as you miss your wonderful Helen/mum - I still remember her service but can't believe it's 7 years. May God continue to hold you and give you his peace, assuring you of his presence and his promise whenever the heart aches: "Do not fear, for I am with you!"

Helen, your husband shares the highlights of your son's achievements. Lots of music and laughter and humour. They are both a real spark of joy. It is great to see Steven with cars, boats and bikes embracing the outdoors. I remember how you liked photo's of Liverpool and the waterfront. Thinking of you on this day. RIP Liz xx

Helen,

I cannot believe it has been six years. Rest easy, Tom and Cameron are now all grown up and doing great.

Six years have passed as of today. Seems like yesterday as the years fly by
The world seems a darker place now. There are wicked things going on on the world at the moment. Life has changed as it always does. 
I know you would be proud of your boys, all grown up now and getting on with building a future for themselves. They have turned out as good people. We did a good job.
Rest in peace Helen.. xx

Still much remembered - still much loved - and on this most beautiful day of the year so far, may the bright sunshine be for us but a glimpse of glory where all will only be light in the presence of the King of Glory, the Light of the world - our Saviour Jesus Christ

On this day, Good Friday, when we remember One whose death brought us true life, we remember too that this was Helen's birthday, praying that even through death her light will still shine as we enter into the fullness of life that only Jesus can bring.

Helen, it is difficult to believe that a year has gone by without your presence. You are missed every day. But rest assured that Stephen has continued your wonderful parenting of Tom and Cameron. The proof is that the boys are two charming young men. I witnessed this myself when Stephen, Tom and Cameron spent two weeks in Canada last summer with Gary and me. Your legacy lives on. Sleep in peace. XXX

Helen, Stephen keeps us all updated on how your wonderful son's are. Stephen shares Tom's musical prowess and his journey onward from secondary education.You truly inspired him. The Liverpool medics are meeting up in March and we shall be thinking of you. Liz xx

We got to know Hels over ten years ago. Within this period we got to know her and her family very well. Hels became not just a colleague but a good family friend. Hels was always cheerful, full of life anddependable. She enjoyed being a GP she embraced with vigour! She loved her family with passion and she never stopped talking about her boys. It was a shock when at a young age of 47yrs she suddenly left this world after a short illness leaving her loved ones and friends behind in keeping with saying that 'good things don't last'. Hels, we miss your vibrant and lovely personality and you will always be in our hearts. May your soul rest in peace. xx

I first met Steve when he was a young, ex environmental health officer, now a new recruit into financial services. For a long time ee where almost "blood brothers", working together. I watched from his first meeting with Helen, through the courting and romance to marriage. The birth of their lads.
Helen turned Steve from a somewhat nieve young man into a grown man, a father, a solid husband and businessman. She was brilliant for him.
Thanks Helen, you leave a proud legacy.

I first met Helen at the time of Cameron's christening. She instantly made me feel at home. Within a very short time, we were chatting as if we had always known each other. She was a wonderful and welcoming person, and it was always a pleasure to be in her presence. Sleep well Helen.

Helen was my wife. My best friend. The love of my life.
She was a wonderful mum, daughter, sister and friend.
Taken from us far too soon after a long battle with many problems.
You will always be with me no matter what the future brings and I will think of you every day.....xxx

Helen embraced the opportunity of becoming a GP and flourished in primary care. Her determination and resilience were evident as she took on this role. She was a dedicated mother, doctor and colleague. Her love of practising medicine was evident. It was a privilege to have known her.
