Rest In Peace Helle

Helle & son Thor in her shop, Outdoor 45

We thought it was strange when Sven & Helle

didn't come over from Denmark to stay at the Old House on 

Leila's Mountain last October - they always came for a few days 

before the November rains began. At the end of the month

Sven e-mailed to let us know that Helle had

been diagnosed with cancer in August & 

was undergoing treatment. 

Although they were both shocked, 

Sven sounded pretty positive that the treatment would work.

Unfortunately, it didn't; Helle passed away yesterday morning.

And we have to say 'goodbye' to one of the most beautiful, 

positive, enthusiastic & energetic women we have ever met.

Rest In Peace Helle, it was a pleasure to know you.
