    Our sympathy to you all. I worked at the hospital for over 20 years and only occasionally with Helen. However I know she was admired and respected by all. She was a loving and caring nurse and will be missed by both patients and Staff and I wonder how many she did work with in her time? Too many to count no doubt. May she rest in peace. Kay
