Afterword

Helene SHAW

Taranaki

Posted 9 September 2026

In loving memory of a beautiful wife, loving mother, and devoted nana, who left us suddenly on September 8th, four years ago.

She had a deep affection for sunsets, moonlight, and rainstorms – elements that resonated with her heart and spoke to the language of her soul.

Though those we love don't go away,

They walk beside us every day,

Unseen, unheard, but always near,

Still loved, still missed, and very dear.

With love, Mo, Sarah, Paul, Henry, Matt, Michelle, and Mackenzie.
