To Helen's boys and their families,
So sorry for your loss - especially during these difficult days of Covid-19. Your mom and mine (Eleanor Macdonald) were very good friends, as well as colleagues during their Ashby School teaching years. Our soon to be 16 year old grandson will be learning to drive this summer, and just yesterday I was telling my husband about the driving lessons I got from Helen many years ago when I was 16. My mom was a great driver, but she was too nervous to get in the car with me, so she recruited your mom instead. I am not sure she was thrilled to be so honoured! Your mother was a sweet, gentle person. Like my mom, she was widowed young and had so much responsibility raising children on her own. The result of her loving and caring nature is a family who loved and cared for her in return. Hopefully the warm memories of happier times together will help comfort you in the days ahead.
Sincerely, Joanne Macdonald and Rod Bird
