Helen, you were such a light.

I’m really going to miss our office tête-à-têtes, your cheeky wit, and your incredible warmth. Sometimes you could say it all with just a look, and I’d be chuckling to myself about it long afterwards.

I always loved hearing about everything going on at Willow Tree, and I’m so grateful that you encouraged me to sign Quinn up to Rainbows. You were right, it really did bring her out of her shell. The Rainbows doll you gave and the letter you wrote to her meant so much to us. We have kept them both and will treasure them always.

Thank you for your kindness, your friendship, and the positive impact you had on so many lives, including ours. You will be greatly missed. Xx
