As a friend of Helen's, Keith's and Alex's I did not know Annie well. But what I do know - and have known since the day I met Helen - is that the "formidable" Annie shines in her! Helen - you share in your thought, the "love for family" that Mum and Dad demonstrated and inspired: this is something that I have been privileged to witness in knowing and loving you - seeing how you adore Alex, hearing you talk about nieces and nephews and watching you love every moment of baby (and dog!) sitting. The strength that Annie will be remembered for is within you. Steely. Shining. Eternal. I love you, Rebecca, xxx.
