Our deepest sympathy to the Jeffery family on Helen’s passing. She will be missed.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Helen’s sudden passing. She was a formidable force and the thought of anything stopping her is beyond comprehension. She was a great and true friend to our mum, Selma Bicum. She even had popped in to drop off some food just this past Friday. Helen will be greatly missed by our mum and by her church community. Our thoughts are with you all as you celebrate a life of hard work, caring for family, and of course gardening and quilting. My sincerest condolences. Deb Massey(Bicum)

Dear Neil and Jeffrey Family, Our sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. I met Mrs Jeffrey approximately three years ago when we moved to Sombra. We always seemed to be out for a walk at the same time and would cross paths. We would always stop to talk about gardening, weather and the river. When she would walk by our house she would always turn and wave. I’ll miss seeing her and our chats. She was a very kind lady and we are truly sorry for your loss.

Our deepest sympathy to the Jeffrey Family, our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Simply put, Helen was an amazing neighbour. 10 years ago, she welcomed us into our new home with a plate of her famous Butter Tarts and a lasting friendship was established. We enjoyed her company very much and were always impressed with her faith, fortitude, willpower and ability to care for herself and her property. We will miss her greatly and count ourselves fortunate for the time we got to spend with her.
