Very sorry to learn of Helen's death. As a past minister of St Stephens, I completed quite a number of weddings, funerals and worship services with Helen. Then she became my neighbour at Rowena Jackson for a time. Lachie and Helen were a lovely couple. I thank GOD for their support in my ministry at St. Stephens

Sincere condolences on the loss of your precious Helen. She was a most remarkable lady. It was a pleasure getting to know her as part of the St Stephens Church community and through her musical endeavours. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
