To Brownie & family.
We have just caught up with Gavin.. telling of Helens passing...
Seems so unfair that the larger than life girl has suffered an early departure from a world she certainly lived in , making a difference in many ways.
Please accept our sincere condolences..and know we are thinking of you all at this sad time.
