Vale Helen Murray

Amanda and my Nanna, Helen Murray, died yesterday. She had been unconcious after a stroke since Tuesday and went very peacefully. She was holding hands with Andrew Murray at the time, her eldest son. The Murray clan are gathered in Newcastle and the funeral is at 11am on Tuesday morning at the Sacred Heart Catholic Cathedral.

She has been a big influence on my life, and on Amanda's. She was my inspiration for getting into environmental science, and was one of the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met. She will be sorely missed.

Amanda is in the US for the next month so this has been hard on her. The same thing happened when we lost Grandma.

Condolences Adam and Amanda, Cathie and all of the Murray family. It must be of some comfort to know that Helen died peacefully with family beside her and did not suffer too long.

I'll be thinking of you all on Tuesday when you celebrate Helen's life, with her family and friends. Lots of love.

Helen was indeed a wonderful woman, she even put up with Grant!
Please add our condolances for the Murray clan and especially to Adam and Amanda who have lost their last grandparent.
