Deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences, Mike. Gary Henderson

Mike, I'm so very sorry to hear of Helen's passing. Sending you and your family my sincere condolences. I met Helen's many years ago at the Curling club. We had laughs and great conversations. She always had a smile for everyone. Another star is shining tonight in her honour 💗💗

We were very saddened to hear of Helen's passing. I always thought of Helen as a person who exuded calmness and kindness. Since Helen and I both worked for Halifax Public Library, we would often talk about our library experiences and what was currently happening in the library system when we met up at the curling club as we both shared the love of curling as well along with our spouses. Our sincere condolences to all who loved her. May sharing your memories of her with others bring you peace and comfort. We are better people for having known her. Dianne & Bob Green

Mike, Sandy, Kevin, and family - I wish I had made the time to write Helen the card I had intended to when I'd heard she was sick. I wanted to tell her that she had a lovely smile, freely given. I wanted to thank her for her kindness and vast abilities when we worked together at Alderney Gate library. I wanted to tell her that I always thought she and Linda and Mary-Ellen were great role models for someone like me who is a reluctant traveler. I wanted to thank her for raising such a sweet soul as Sandy. I like to think, though, that all those thoughts are reaching her now anyway. May every happy memory you made together be at the ready for you now. Janice Cruddas and family
