  1. Dear Helen, You were such a kind, bubbly and caring person. I loved coming to visit you when you when I was a child. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to Mum. She really treasured you. I’m sorry I can’t be there today to say goodbye due to illness. With love, Melanie Bloom (nee Robilliard)
