In memory of Helen Louise Aitkenhead

Helen loved life. She loved to laugh. She loved a full house, her family around her.

What mattered to Helen? We, her daughters, created a poster for her a couple of years ago, summarising what she liked. Our list for her was:

Sun worshipping; Dad; Her girls; Small turquoise boxes with white ribbons; Drinking Fizz; Chanel; Weekends in Paris; Writing “to do” lists for Dad; Wimbledon; Collecting stones on the beach; Shopping.

Helen was the bright sun around which we orbited. Her light will never go out. She lives within us and around us. She shaped who we are and will always be an influence in our lives. We were so lucky to have her.
