Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry to tell you that NAN7 died on 9th December '23. 
Nan7 joined us in 2021, so her journey wasn't long but a difficult one. She told me in October that there was nothing more they could do and she was moving into St. John's Hospice, which was near her home.
We had kept in contact until recently when she sent me her goodbye message. She was well looked after in the hospice seeing Howard and the family daily.

 As I am in Scotland, I can't be there at her funeral but if anyone is in Doncaster and wants to pay their respects, please get in touch with me for details.

Nan7 (Helen) was a lovely lady who decided not to post near the end of life because she did not want to upset new members and she said she didn't know what to say, so asked me to post for her after she died!

  • Hello ellie73 and all NAN7 "Helen's" friends. Went to Helens funeral yesterday and thought you would like to know it was a beautiful service attended by over 200 family and friends, take care Eddie

  • Thank You so much, glad some one from here, was there.

    We do forget and think every one, lives just round the corner., though all friends of same club, sad really xxx

  • It was the least i could, she was a homettown girl. and like you said, a friend from our forum, take care, Eddie

  • Thank you Anndanv,

    Helen was indeed a very kind person. We bonded over our teaching careers and had very similar experiences in education. I would like to send my love and best wishes to the family if you have any contact with them. How very sad.

  • Hi Jac, I have already sent an email to Helen's daughter Clare, telling her ALL her mum's friends at McM will miss chatting with her mum on the Forum and that everyone sends their condolences. Also her mum would be missed by us all!

    Love Annette x
