Linda, and all of Helen’s family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Helen through our work at the Dept of Health, and will always treasure our little chats - I especially enjoyed chatting with her when she returned from a trip to Scotland when her accent grew so much thicker. She always had a smile for you, even when she was wading through the implementation of yet another administrative system to track letters, meetings, and progress on the departmental mandate. I was not surprised they kept bringing her back to the Dept after her retirement - she knew that place inside out. Take comfort in the fact that Helen had a lasting impact on everyone who had the chance to meet her, and her smile and kindness will always be remembered.
