So sorry to hear of your passing Helen, sending love to all your family

Aunty Hel

You were just the best.
Where do I start?
From a young boy up until
now you never EVER forgot my birthday and always greeted me with a smile.
You had a tattoo,had the biggest stocked pantry ever and barracked for the Tigers, in which I thought was cool.
Your children shared great times with me growing up and you were always great to my mum and Dad.
Just like your Mother and five Sisters, you also were a great
Mum,
Grandmother,
Sister,
Wife,
Aunty,
Friend and a bloody hard worker.

You will never be forgotten.

R.I.P

All my love Damien

To George, Vicki and family… Helen had a wonderful life… a beautiful husband and great children and grandchildren..Helen will always be remembered as a loving mother and devoted wife… very much admired by so many…while it was Helen’s time to leave.. she leaves behind inspiration of something to so many people that has crossed paths in her life.. this makes it so much harder to except in a physical sense she is no longer here .. while you all feel like your foundation in life has been ripped apart take comfort the love from all Helen has will be taken into her next life where she will wait patiently for you all to once again to be joined together as a family…Helen’s life is worth celebrating.. she has earned that …she leaves behind a support system for you all at anytime you need us .. never goodbye… always will see you on the other side.. my heartfelt condolences to all and Vicki i will hold you dearly in my thoughts … much love to all ❤️❤️❤️

Rest easy you. Beautiful women will be sadly missed very much helsi xx all our love the Harrison family 💚💚💚💚💚💚

condolences 💐 to you Vicki and your family.

Aunty Hel, there isn’t much I remember from when I was a child but I can always remember times at your place.. I remember the love you and uncle George had for each other, he always came and gave you a kiss when he came in from work. I can remember helping you with the washing with the old washing machine. Oh, there was the time you had Vicky in the pram and Tanya and I were with you walking past the old mill and you found a piece of would and put it across the pram so I could sit up there. Late nights of mum and dad visiting was a bit much for me and I would sleep in your bed until it was home time. Blimey, the time you had to take Steven to the hospital and when you came out, it was pouring rain, you fell over and split your knee open. Most of all, we all knew, you were so loving toward us and with this we loved you right back.
I’m so glad I asked you over for lunch the week before ur operation. We all had a nice day, real family day, talking over the top of each other, eating and taking some photos to make more memories.
I still can’t believe you’re gone. I really know you were fighting to stay here, you have that strong Alexander blood running through your veins but it was obviously a bit too much pain and you knew you were fighting a losing battle.
One by one God is taking you and you’re siblings home to his garden. I can’t understand why, you had so much still here to live for. Reunited with you’re mum and dad, siblings and little granddaughter. Love u lots Aunty and you will be missed, so much. I’m not sure you realised how much you were loved by all who knew you. See you Thursday when we celebrate your life. Love from Angie, Peter, Kobie, Todd and Jett. Xxxxx

Thinking of George, Vicki, George Junior, Steven and the rest of the family at this incredibly sad time. I take some comfort knowing that Helen is reunited with passed family members and is with our baby girl Elise. I will remember your cheeky infectious smile, your kind caring ways and your generous warm heart. Rest peacefully Helen. You will be missed and never forgotten. Louise, Brooke and Jessica.

To Dear George, Vicki & family, I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Your hearts are forever broken. Sending you all my love during this incredibly sad time. ❤️
Rest in Peace Helen 🙏

Thinking of George at this devastating time. I keep coming back to the memory of George sitting with me, 21 years ago outside the party hut. Saying “how are you going old girl”. Sitting down and providing a few words of comfort, on one of our worst days. Thinking of Helen who is now reunited with family and our girl Elise. Thinking of Vicki George and Steven as they navigate the loss of their mum, their friend and their rock. Heaven has gained a beautiful kind caring woman. Rest peacefully Helen. Heartfelt condolences to the Platschinda family. Louise, Brooke and Jessica.

Nan, I’ll never fully accept a life without you, you didn’t get to see me walk down the aisle, you didn’t get to meet my future children, you didn’t get to clean my car, but there were some things you did get to be apart of that gave me memories to hold on to, like meeting Zach, buying a home, welcoming pets that became family, Rory especially always runs to your seat in the lounge first before checking every room, I know he misses you. We are all deeply broken, but we are strong, and united as a family which is exactly what you wanted. You would be so proud of pop, each day he feels luckier to have had you in his life (now he’s having to do the housework!) you don’t need to worry about him he is well cared for and I thank you for passing that trait onto me. I love you so much and I hope one day we are reunited again and you welcome me with open arms and that smile that lit up the room, when I look at the stars I’ll know that one of them is your smile, looking down on us, being your nosey self checking on if I’m cleaning my house or where I am out for dinner. I hope you are my angel and will be up there making the universe get me pregnant. It’ll never be the same but we will adapt, stay together, and miss you every day. I love you nanzy ❤️

Helen walked this world with gentle grace,
A constant smile upon her face.
A loving heart, so warm, so true,
In every life she passed, it grew.

A wife, a mother, a Nan so dear,
Whose love will echo year to year.
Though she rests, her light won’t fade
Her beautiful memories stay.
