My Great Auntie Helen

Dad says my great auntie Helen taught him and his brothers and all his cousins to body surf on their backs which is way cool I reckon. Helen taught them to fish and to tie knots and to think about how to do things with your hands. Helen was his cub leader when he little and a great chat when he got bigger.

Dad says Helen had an awesome infectious laugh that always made him and everyone around her smile and he loved her a lot.

Helen passed away yesterday and will be sadly missed but really fondly remembered.

May all the ancestors that came before look after you now and all the ones that come after carry you close in their hearts and remember you.

I know dad will teach me to body surf on my back just like you when i can swim.
