So sorry to hear of Helen Strain's passing.
I remember in the early 1970's all of Nanan and Dado's married children, Paddy and Helen, Michael and Teresa, Jackie and Bridget and all of their children and Fintan meeting all together for the first time.
It was a very big family event. I met Helen for the first time and she struck me as a lovely lady.
I rearly met her over the years, but when she and Paddy were visiting Galway I was away.
When Jackie was not well I spoke to her on a number of occasions. She was very friendly to me and I will always remember her with fondness.

So sorry to hear of Helen's passing. I had the pleasure of spending a few days with herself and Paddy at their home in Ottawa over twenty years ago. She welcomed me into their home and treated me as one of their own. This meant a morning discussion on various topics over a leisurely breakfast with tea being drank from China cups and saucers. I'd return that evening to a wonderful dinner and more discussions ( Paddy trying to explain to me why Einstein theory of relativity was flawed), Helen had heard it all before no doubt but being the lady she was, didn't object to hearing it all again. Helen treated me so very well. She was kind, sincere, welcoming and had a calmness that made me totally relaxed in her company.

So sorry to learn of Helen’s passing. She was always a lady. Kind and compassionate. We have many fond memories of her and Patrick here in Galway.
And Fintan and I were treated like royalty on our visit to Ottawa. Condolences to Helen’s extended family.

I had the privilege to have met Helen in the sunshine state, Florida, we shared a ride to church on a few Saturday evenings and talked about my culture and about my nickname fifi. Her soft smile, her little grin, her kindness and loving look made me very confortable. We talked about my strong accent which made her smile and say never to change it made me who I am. Coming from church we spoke about the readings and also about our faith. In those minutes of rides I have never felt surrounded with such a nice comfortable feeling.
Rest in peace Helen God bless you I’m happy I met you.
María Cristina (Fifi) McConnell.
