May your family find the peace and serenity in their heart knowing that Helen will always be with them and with us in our thoughts and in our hearts. Bless you Helen.

A very great loss to the island of Malta. Her work helped save uncounted lives. In addition, she helped those suffering terminal illness to pass away with dignity and comfort. My deepest condolences to family and friends.
