The family of the late Helen Dwyer (103 years), would like to thank all her friends, acquaintances and parishioners for their many messages, sympathy cards, Mass cards and generous donations to Helen’s chosen charities.

Special thanks to Father Michael at St. John’s RC Church for conducting such a dignified Requiem Mass and to Father Chris and Father Ged for concelebrating on the day. It was moving to see so many in attendance at the service, which was testament to Helen’s remarkable journey. Many thanks to Pam for arranging the lovely flowers in the church and to Cameron, George, Ged and Maggie for providing the beautiful music.

Family and friends of Helen are appreciative of the outstanding care and support that she received throughout her life. Our thoughts and thanks are with: the staff and residents of Margaret Ward Court, Sr. Noel, Barbara, Dr. Bhima and his team at Nye Bevan Medical Centre, Premier Care, staff at Fairfield Hospital and anyone else who played a part in Helen’s life.

Finally, thank you to Robert Nuttall Funeral Services for their efficient and dignified funeral arrangements, and special thanks to The Royal Toby Hotel for their personable and considerate service as we met to celebrate Helen’s 103 years.
