It has been a great privilege to have known Helen for more than thirty years and to have counted her as a friend. Her distinguished career speaks for itself; what a marvellous contribution she has made in Canada and in so many other countries as a nurse and nursing educator. Her interest in heraldry came in the later part of her life and she was deeply interested in the work of the Canadian heraldic Authority and gave generously to a number of special projects which simply would not have happened without her philanthropy. The love of heraldry was what she shared especially, but I will never forget the warmth of her hospitality, at her Ottawa home. In every sense and the best sense she was one of a kind and she will be deeply missed, especially wherever nurses gather to reflect on one of the leaders of their profession. Alison joins me in expressing our deppest condolences to Lynette and all her family while we marvel at such a long life so richly lived. The motto on her personal arms is so apt an epitaph for her because she lived and believed it so fully, to those who have received much, much must be given back by them.
