In loving memory of my amazing wife, Helen Parkes, who touched so many during her short life. Helen achieved more in her 40 years than many people do in a much longer lifetime. Incredibly strong, determined and intelligent, Helen had a zest for life most people can only aspire to. Helen always saw the best in everyone. Always putting others first, nothing was ever to much trouble to Helen for her to help others. A much missed wife, daughter & granddaughter - will be forever in our hearts and minds. A true shining star.
