Helen, it is with great sorrow that we hear you have passed away. I hope the Good Lord has got some sherry up there as I can remember uncle sending me to the Edendale Hotel for a bottle of sherry when you came to stay those weekends. We will miss your lovely smile every time that we saw you. May the angels come and guide you home. Marie and John, Colette and Allan, Erin, Elaine and Brian and Families, our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. John and Desley O'Neill.

Sr Helen taught me for many years at Moreau College. She really cared about us and had such a pure faith. I felt very sad to find out that she had passed. I've never forgotten her or her kindness
