Greg and I and two of our girls came to Adelaide 20 years ago as Greg was commencing his ministry at Blackwood Church of Christ. Helen was amongst our first visitors who came to welcome us. She bought along some home baked biscuits and I still remember how she in particular included the girls , knowing that they were still feeling raw from having t...

Denita Jones Mums favourite longtime hairdresser - her sister Gwen’s daughter, Rachel Lovelock! She even made house calls to accommodate mum! Mum hated having her hair cut & gave Rachel grief every time, who took it in her stride & equally gave it back to mum!! (which mum loved!! 😂) A great relationship of trust, sense of humour & love was built 🥰

Every time I think of our first time in Australia (in 2009, I believe), I'm reminded of being shown the sites by Colin & Helen. Helen insisted we see Handorf and we spent the day with them there. They let us shop for a while but then Helen wanted to stop for a coffee. We spent some quality time with the 2 of them having a coffee. We spent many days...
Thinking of you all at this time, special memories of a remarkable lady.
Denita Jones This pic captures my memory of mum as a child & growing up, of her big beaming smile! And also Dad’s right next to her!!
I fondly remember Auntie Helen as a cheery, smiley person. I clearly remember her washing dishes with us after Christmas lunch at our house. She would say ‘aren’t we lucky to have dishes to wash because it means we have had food to eat!’ When faced with the washing up the next week, we kids joked ‘wish Auntie Helen was here, she likes dishes’. Ser...
We have known Helen for well over 40 years and indeed have received a note of encouragement for various things over the years. In Helen's unique small script of course. Very early on Don returned to Vanuatu and Helen and Colin offered Carolyn and Tim the use of their house as they were away on holiday. Very much appreciated. We shared a love of...

Denita Jones Mum loved & respected her mother, Mavis, very dearly. Just the way we love you mum! 💕 Picture taken at mums 21st Birthday
Denita Jones Mum loved all her grandchildren! They will never need to doubt that, as she told them often!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Denita Jones Another classic! The family road trips! Queensland sugarcane in the background I think! 1980’s
Denita Jones Family holidays to Queensland were always a happy time! Mid - late 1980’s
Denita Jones One of the few things mum would openly admit she was proud of herself.... Netball! (or as it was known in her day - Basketball). She was a very talented player & it was a huge part of her life. She continued to play through her Cancer & 2 complication surgeries that followed, until Dermatomyositis caused her to retire just before she turned 65!! 👏👏
