Cornerstone No. 187, page 3
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices
with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perse-
veres.”
I have loved this passage and as I sat there on the pew at her funeral, I realized
how deeply Helen understood and practiced what the passage said. From my
experience of Helen, she was very patient, very kind, never spoke badly of
others, never promoted herself, I never saw her angry, she always saw the
good in people, she was not proud of herself, but of others whom she loved,
she kept no record of wrongs committed against her, she delighted in what was
good and true, she protected, trusted, hoped and persevered. From now on, I
will always think of her when I read this passage.
Helen shared her life with all whom she encountered demonstrating love in a
very Christ-like way. She will be dearly missed by us all and we are very grateful
for how she enriched each one of us here at the Scots Kirk Lausanne.

What Alice has written is just beautiful. I can't add to that. I'll always think of
Helen smiling and humming a tune.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
Helen lived her Faith.
Melanie Whitlow
From the very first time we met Helen, we all loved her. With her smile which
lit up her face, lit up any room she walked into, she made us all feel special.
She brought light and love to us all, never rushing but always taking time to
listen and to help in her kind and gentle way. Always sincere.
She loved her orange shoes and the colour turquoise and she made us happy
with her warm sense of fun.
We are all overwhelmed with sadness at her untimely passing and our hearts
and prayers go out to Ian, Sarah, Michael, Matthew, Colin and her brother John.
To all who loved her.
Janet Beard
Sharing everyone’s memories of Helen and all she meant to the Scots Kirk
would be an enormous task,
so these are only a few memories of her.
Please do share your memories with Ian and family
as requested at Helen’s funeral.
