Les & Helen Day &Family.

Helen was the best mother I ever had, and I told her that frequently!

Mother, you did such a good job bringing me up by yourself in the early years – how many times did I hear, “No matter how big you get, I’ll always find a big enough stick to whack you with!”.

It was funny watching you nearly bust the hospital door down to get that first glance of your first grandkid. I enjoyed watching you interact with our kids, knowing they were little people you so treasured and desired. I wish you were still here to see them grow old. –

It was hard to watch you being sick and in pain for so long, but you hid it very well and always fought! I wish I had known that our most recent goodbye would be the last one, but I’m relieved in a sense that it is over for you now.

There’s a big hole left in our lives now and you will always be remembered and loved. I’ll wave my hand and tip the dumper every time I think of you, Mother.

Love,
Darren

Without Helen, I wouldn’t have the husband and kids I have today! So outrageously proud of her son, Darren, and the world’s most welcoming and best mother-in-law of some 21 years to me. A very chuffed and adoring Grandma to the kids. A constant cheerleader for all of us. An ever willing and responsive audience for our life updates and tales. We knew this day would come, but we didn’t think it would be this soon or this way. We miss you already. Lovely memories of easy weekend family get togethers, newspapers and gardening magazines, tea towels, Bonds socks and cheesecake!
Love,
Kelly

“She was a loving Grandma who never gave up on us. She listened to our questions and bought me Lego Technics!”

“She was our beloved Grandma Helen! She was kind and gave us treats. She read me books.”

The Kealy family would like to thank Graham for all the love, care, support and nurturing he gave to Helen, throughout all their time together, but especially during the last 12 years.

I will always remember Aunty Helen with a smile on her face – she was such a warm, loving and strong person who had a lust for life and gave incredible hugs! I’ll carry all my precious memories of you in my heart.

Aunty Helen I will miss you. My greatest memories is when I was young and would spend the day at your house while mum worked. I loved playing Where’s Wally and watching ‘Baby’s Day Out’ with you. My heart goes out to Uncle Graham, Darren, Jayden and Rachel. I have no words to express how saddened I am for you.
Aunty Helen was such a kind hearted person who was incredibly brave and had no self-pity during a hard and long 12yr illness.
I’m so glad you were able to travel and enjoy life to your fullest.
Love you, Mia x

Helen often at funerals l would be sitting next to you. You would see that l was upset and you would hold my hand, passing on your strength. On Tuesday l know my tears will be flowing and but l won’t have your hand to hold. RIP Love always SharonKealy.

To my beautiful daughter, Helen.
I’ll always love and keep you close forever. Love never dies.
All my love,
Mum.

Special thanks to Graham for all his care of Helen. Love,
Lil.

Helen’s love and endurance live on in me.

Bye Helen.

Love Jenny x

My deepest condolences to Graham and the Camm family and also the Kealy family. Rest in peace Helen.

Sending all my love to Uncle Graham, Darren, Jayden, Rachel, and Grandma during this incredibly tough time. Know that we are all here to walk alongside you and to share in your happy memories.

Aunty Helen, you were an exceptional lady. You showed up to every event with a smile and a willingness to help out. You always showed such an interest in what was happening in our lives and made us feel special. I will treasure the sound of your laughter that could always be heard whenever you were around.

What an amazing and gracious fight you put up, it’s time to rest now ❤️

Lots of love, Caitlin and Jarith xx

Aunty Helen was a warm, caring and sunny person, even in the face of immense adversity. I will never forget her bravery when new challenges arose, and her constant dedication to positivity. Although she was always fighting her own battle, she always had time to hear about the lives of others, and responded with thoughtfulness and consideration. One of my favourite memories of Aunty Helen was her giving me her “lucky $10 note” when I was supposed to move to America. She was always thinking about others, and her kindness was one of the millions of things that made her so special.

I will miss her handwriting in birthday cards, her infectious smile/laughter, and the humming noise she’d make that let everyone know she was around (and because she was around, we were all happy).

I know Auntie Helen would be so proud of her legacy: a love with Uncle Graham that knows no conditions nor bounds, her son Darren who has grown up to care for his children with the zest and adoration Aunty Helen showed him, her children Jayden and Rachel who are funny, clever and always compassionate to others despite the struggles of their own lives, and her wider family, who will always treasure the the fact that they were able to call Helen “grandmother”, “daughter”, “sister”, “sister-in-law”, “mother-in-law”, “cousin” and “aunty”.

Helen I know it’s been quite some time since we last talked, but that doesn’t change a thing because what I know is when we did catch up it felt like only yesterday.
You where always welcoming and a loving caring lady that made me feel welcomed.
my deepest condolences to Graham, Darren, Jayden, Rachael, Lil and families. RIP
💕Sheree, Evan & family xx

Helen,

Thank you for raising an amazing son that I get to call my best friend and life partner. You were truly a special woman; always strong and positive, never letting your sickness get in the way of being there for your family and loved ones. I’m so grateful we got to know each other over the past 6 years and thank you for welcoming me into your family with open arms. I promise I’ll take care of Jayden.

All my love,
Anneliese

RIP Helen
You will forever be in our thoughts

Love your cousin’s Lorraine and Alan Gibbs

Dear Helen–So, so sad to hear of your passing. You were a wonderful workmate for many years! Too soon for you to leave this World. You were an exceptional Mum and Grandmother and a loving, caring partner to Graham I still remember Rachel dancing into the shop where we worked dressed up in her dance class clothes. She was so unselfconscious and happy to show you how well she was doing at dance class! Sincere and heartfelt condolences to Graham, Darren, Jayden and Rachel Dear Helen–the long day has ended. Goodbye, dear friend. Rest in peace. Shelley.
