Hi friends my Helen passed away to day and I wanted to say a big heartfelt thanks you for the prayers and thoughts in my other post. My thanks again to Jody for doing the special track for me, although I used a different one. JPF has always been a great place for me and for Helen and the kindness so often displayed by you it's members is always meaningful and from the heart. I wanted to share with you what happened with the track that I had done for Helen and let those who would like to hear it, do so. Helen would have loved having it here as she always followed your thoughts when I posted one of her songs, or indeed one of my own. When I posted my request for help with the track, I had also sent it to Chris of songcat (a JPF member) to see how much it would cost (everyone has to eat), and he came back and said that he would charge me nothing, and the singer and musicians also said that they would refuse any payment for Helen 's last song. I have to say that this gesture did move me to tears and I will be eternally grateful to him and his people. So if anyone would like to hear it, here is the link. https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13722109Me and Helen always loved writing tear-jerkers so if it does move you, then I know that she will be smiling down. God Bless from me and Helen

So Sorry to hear this, Roy:
I know it was a matter of time but none of us can adequately prepare for the final act of life. May her memory forever linger in all our hearts and minds. My prayers are for you, my friend. I'm glad to hear about all the kindness Chris and Jody provided.
Stiff upper lip, old chum. We are here for you if you need us. ----Dave

Just happened in to JPF today after a while away Roy, so I'm just hearing this sad news about Helen. I'm so sorry for your loss, you two were the cutest couple. Your song is certainly a lovely tribute to that love.
Wishing you peace and the comfort of fond memories, Beth

Beautiful song, beautiful people, beautiful life together. Song made me cry. I am sorry for your loss but your loss is heaven's gain and there will be a reunion someday soon when there will be joy unspeakable. Stay close to Helen by staying even closer to God through His Son Jesus. This earth is but a stepping stone to reach our final home. May God bless you in this time of sorrow and for the rest of your life. Words can not convey what one would like to say to ease your pain today, but for you today I pray. God be with you Roy.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family Roy. I lost my mother two weeks ago after a four month decline, but we are never really prepared. It is in difficult times that we should turn to the Devine Mercy of God to help get us through.
God Bless.

Roy,
I was hoping not to hear this very sad news. My condolences and thoughts are certainly with you and your extended family. Even though most of us around hear haven't ever met one another in person, I'm sure I speak for many--many of us now have been acquaintances for several years and have a special common music friendship, but it really feels to me like a real friendship bond that I have with JPF-ers. Your loss affects me sadly, bless you Roy and know Helen is in a wonderful place--you'll be together again. (sweet song)

Sorry for your loss Roy. It's something that shocks you even if you expect it. I recall the disbelief when losing loved ones.
There's no formula to it, just remember the good times more than the bad ones.
