Tributes

Helen was a fantastic teacher, artist, musician and the best mother to David and Maxwel. She was also the best friend any person could ask for. Rest in peace Helen.

ALISTAIR FAULKNOR

Such lessons and stories; Elvis over the Beatles, boys with marble dust, tours through Europe as a young violinist. Such a lived life Mrs Jones. I’ll miss you terribly.

Ben

Aww Mrs Jo, I will miss the cigarette welding red lipstick stains and berret wearing days gone by!Thank you for everything you did to shape me into the human I am today, you gave compassion and clarity where others chose not to, and your encouragement in my growth and delight when I had successes will always play a part in my future, I hope you have peace and all of the things you love where ever you have gone, All the love and hugs in the world I can give.

Cat

Your bright red lipstick, your skinny jeans, your straight talk always telling it like you saw it. You inspired me, encouraged me and scolded me. You became a part of our family, not only a friend to mum and friend to us all and i thank you always for the many years of you in our world.
