To the Fenton Family - I was so very sorry to hear that your Mom/grandmother has died. I have many fond memories of Helen from her time at Brooks School....most especially during the year Richard Holmes was Headmaster...and when we helped him move out of the farmhouse and on to Cape Town, South Africa. He absolutely adored her. She was one great lady! My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this very difficult time.

It is with great sadness that I hear of my aunts death. Our families have lost contact after my father's death in 1969 and I am sorry for the lost years. I was very young when I first knew Helen, albeit as "Sister Helen",( I thought she was a nun for the longest time) and she was so nice to me and so pretty, as the fifth of seven children her kind attention to me formed a lasting memory.
My sincerest condolences for your loss.

My fondest regards to the Fenton family. Your father was my horse trainer for many years and I had the opportunity of meeting Helen, she was a lovely lady. I wish you all the best, and am so glad that you were able to have her in your lives for so long. Whitey was a large part of my life and I'm sure his spirit is still with you, as it is with me

Thank you for being a friend and mentor!
