Helena HUGHES Obituary

Helena,such a considerate and generous friend. Your ability to see beyond the ordinary was a gift you shared with us all.Your smile and energy will never be forgotten.Love to your beautiful family

Phil, Zia, and Rudi,

I am so sorry for the loss of your wife and Mom. Helena was so strong and such an inspiration… although I did not know her, her beautiful spirit, her joy of life and sense of humor shined though on her blog and Don's stories. May her love and memories live on forever in your hearts.

“It is still so new & all we see is the empty space, but that is not how it is in the landscape of the heart. There, there is no empty space & she still laughs & grapples with ideas & plans & nods wisely with each of us in turn…” ~ Brian Andreas

Much love, Hilary

Helena- the smile and the slight shyness is what i remember most.....From our school days at Tenison. My heart goes out to your loved ones, may they find peace.

Helena.
I love your smile which reaches right to your beautiful blue eyes. Peace.

Helena - you tucked me under your wing and flew me into Westmere - we shared a bottle of bubbles surrounded by boxes and I knew I had found a kindred spirit. Our friendship was short but meant so much to me - your kindness, your laughter, your courage will remain with me always. May your soul rest in peace but your spirit keep flying high gal !!! julesxx

Helena - such a wonderful, vibrant woman with the world's best smile and laugh - you will be so dearly missed. I have had so many dreams of you and in all of them, you are beautiful with your shining grin.
Much love to all your family

Dearest Helena, the impact your wit, smile and limitless energy has made on us is immeasurable. You will live on in our hearts and memories. Arohanui e hoa.

Darling Helena.

I dreamt of your spirit soaring high, yet still fluttering close by your beautiful family...my brave friend, I feel richer for knowing you, rest in peace Hely.

HUGHES, Helena. Dearly loved friend of Ro Gravit, Brian, Marcus, Joe and Bruno Dickey. Helena you were a high heeled, laughing, gossiping, energetic yodeling soccer playing, stitch-bitching, creative, tennis dodgy line calling, mummy helping, incessantly late, wonderful friend. How we will all miss you. All our love and support to Phil, Rudi, Zia and the Hughes/Walters families. Rest in peace, dear girl. Arohanui.
