I went to South school and Tweedsmuir with Helen. She was so friendly and would always help others.The family Nursery business in Bowmont Street Invercargill was a credit to the Curson family. Mr & Mrs Curson and the children all worked hard.
I am sorry to read in the Southland Times today that Helen has died. My condolences to the Curson family.
