I'm sorry to have to let you all know that Helen sadly passed away early this morning.
I know that she has posted on Mumsnet for over 10 years, under many different user names, and I'm not sure what they all might be, but this is the user name that is stored on her laptop.
I know that she was not in pain and she had her parents and myself with her.
Its difficult to put into words, but I know that she always loved posting and spending time on these boards, and I know she offered so much to your community, even when she was not at her best.
I hope that I have put this message in the correct section, and if not please move it to the most appropriate area.
With great sadness
Jon ( Helen's husband )
