Helen Marie GIBBONS

We go back a long way..... From riding horses with you around Manaia, the Hawera Pony club, flatting together at Walters Road, Mt Eden. We were at your wedding in Manaia and visited you at Bexley Station. When you flew to Ian's funeral in the US, by coincidence, were on the same flight as my mother-in-law who was visiting us in Toronto. Where did those years ago? RIP.

At peace now, condolences for loss of aunt

My sincere condolences to Helen's family. I appreciate our time working together in Bishops House at Whanganui Collegiate. Helen was a very practical, professional and supportive colleague. Suzanne Balasingam

Deepest sympathies to the Gibbons and Buist families our thoughts are with you all. Helen was a flower girl for our mum and dad (Grace and George Barlow) on their wedding day. Dianne Christensen (nee Barlow)

Helen was always there for me. From Bexley to Berkeley. From Oakura to Oakland. She was at Ian and my wedding. From Mania, New Zealand to Mountain View, California. She turned Ian's office into a nursery when Christina was born, and was there when Christina got married. My life was a happier place having her as my sister in law, and knowing Debbie, Amanda and Jo as nieces.

So sad to see your name here Helen. Will always remember the fun and laughter back in the 80s and 90s at Oakura. RIP Helen and sending condolences to your loving family.

Helen was a playmate many years ago in Manaia. It was her that told me that there was no Santa Clause as I was proudly showing her my second hand bike I had got for Xmas. I was in awe of her lovely Dolls House. Many happy memories. Warm sympathy to Helen's family. Jennifer Greenhill née Whalen.

Condolences to all the Gibbons and Buist families.
