My found memory of Helena was our time together in Israel (Holy Land). Her sense of joy and adventure. It was a life changing experience for all of us. We came back stories and sense of accomplishment having walked the land where Jesus. No she is with him in eternity praying for her children and grandchildren. May too experience the joy of being in close relationship with Jesus the Lord.

In loving memory of the wonderful mother of Una, Paul and Brendan and grandmother to 4 beautiful children. Your courageous fighting spirit, your strength, love and humor will live on through your children and grandchildren. Thank you for bringing them into this world Lena. Though I never met you in person, I was fortunate enough to hear your voice over the phone several times, you were a guiding light and a beacon of love to them, which they will never forget.
Sending my deepest sympathies and love to the McGeough family.
She was a real one.
