I met Helena last year and we immeadiately clicked. She was bright, bubbling, beautiful and had a wicked sense of humour. She always knew what to say whatever the situation even if that was to ask for a selfie when she wanted one. I will never forget her gorgeous smile and equally beautiful personality. Helena will be remembered and missed for being a wonderful girl who loved to smile. Rest in peace, Lay. xx

I met Helena through my son. From the first time I met her I felt as if I had known her for ages. She was an absolute delight to have around. She lit up everywhere around her, a truly lovely person. I grew very fond of her very quickly. A true angel has left us but there is a special place set aside for Helena within my heart. May her memory live on forever.

  • I went to primary school with Helena. We had so many memories together in school. I remember when she came to visit me when I broke my leg. She was a bright and bubbly girl who will be dearly missed. May she rest in peace

As Helena's form tutor for 5 years, I got to see her grow up into such a beautiful, intelligent, kind young lady. It was an absolute pleasure to have known her and I am so sorry that she is no longer with you. She was such a special part of our form and I know the other kids are as heart broken as I am.
May she rest in peace and I hope you find some comfort from how loved she is by so many.

Sharron & Glen

It has taken me over a week to be able to write you a message of condolence, as my mind has been quite literally numb with shock and disbelief. I can't believe that the girl I remember as a friendly young lady, with a ready smile has been snatched from you. As her past teacher I will always remember Helena as hard working and conscientious with her work. As the mother of one her oldest school friends, from the Foundation class at St Modwen's, I will always remember how friendly she was, and thoughts of the Birthday Party you had at Swad Ski Centre have been going through my mind.

I can't begin to offer you any words of comfort, but know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

With my most sincerest condolences.

Angie Burrows

Sharron & Glen,
How shocked & saddened to realise it was such a beautiful girl inside & out who had gone. I remember Helena from junior school always smiling & saying hello whenever I saw her. She had grown into the prettiest girl & other than sending you my heartfelt condolences I am at a loss as to what to say that may give you some comfort. I will be thinking of you over the next few days.
With love
Jane, Rosie & Lizzie Dale

Helena when I red that it was you I was in shock, I couldn't and still can't believe your gone, I can remember the fun moments we had and the memories we shared when we were little. How much you grew up and blossomed into a young lady, one that made your mum and dad extremely proud and all others that new you including me. Those memories will live on forever.

Glen and sharon I am so sorry for your lose, there isn't really anything I can say that will amount to the type of pain your going through. My love and thoughts are with you always.

Much love always
Jade. xx

Rest in peace Helena xx
