It's a crop from a pic of them at 'Chicago'. She's smiling because she was walking away and the 3 boys, Darius, Andrew and Michael were laughing behind her. When she posed with Darius she usually seemed very serious. It was when the camera wasn't on her she became her normal self.

They are lovely photos thanks Meg

I look better when I'm not being photographed and, preferably, when it's dark.

Thank you, megham. That is a beautiful picture of Helen, just as I remember her.

It's the smile. I hope the family are coping with the funeral. It's hard to make it a celebration of life but, that's what it is.

I think before the funeral there are things to be done which keep the close family very active and it's actually afterwards that close friends and family need to give more support the bereaved.

It's a time to learn to let go and remember the good things. It is so difficult though. I hope they are all OK

Time is a great healer, but the period of grieving comes first. I hope they all cope alright. It is far more difficult when

someone dies young.We expect the old to pass on, but even then it is hard.

The thought of a child going id dreadful. I can guarantee that Helen would have much rather this happen than anything happen to her kids. As we all would - I can't think of anything worse than my kids being harmed.

To lose a mum who's the hub of a young family leaves a huge hole with many practical obstacles to overcome, while still grieving. I hope there's a lot of support.

 

 

They are a close, loving family. They will pull together and be even closer.

Have English schools broken up for Summer yet?

Some - all will have by tomorrow.

Click on it you have been sent a Personal/private message

It means someone has sent you a private message. If you double click on where it says that, your inbox should open and you should see the subject and the name of the member who has sent you that message. i got one about the voting for new artist forums so it might be that.

I've found the message. What is this site. Is it for personal messages so they cannot be read by everyone?

Can only I read it?

I got the same one it must have been sent to everyone.

You put in the username of the person you want to send the message to. Give the message a title. Write and send your message and the other person gets the "you have 1 message" sign and know someone has contacted him/her.
