Helen is my older sister we grew up in a large family of 7 girls and 2 boys ,she spent a few years at the start of her life in hospital with a hip problem and sadly the last few with cancer. We had our fights and ups and downs bitched about each other as all sisters do but still had love for each other, she always had a fighting nature it was this nature that took her through the cancer for so long, it didnt know who it was dealing with.
Helen was great to have around at school at St Margarets to fight any of my battles for me. She left school and went to work a the pye factory in Airdrie where she met Frankie Mc Galey whom she married on 31st of august 1979, i was proud to be asked to be best maid my first time .They had a bit of a wait for Keri to come along 12 years later but she was worth the wait they both cherished her and ruined her as you would ,she would make helen very proud if she could see how well she is handling this terrible time in her life, helping to look after dad and getting on with school work and getting out with friends just as helen wanted her to do.
Helen went on to work in Monklands hospital after pye shut down where she still has alot of friends who kept her company in her last few months in and out of hospital, she used to go to her old ward 19 to share a chinese with her friends and catch up with the gossip.
Helen developed breast cancer in 2000 went through all the treatment and was getting the all clear five years later ,we were delighted for her then she told that it had went into bone metz and told she had at the worst 6 to 12 months to live but helen wasnt having any of it, she fought and battled for another 2 and a half years in alot of pain but never complaining just getting on with it she always said she wanted to arrange a 50th party for Frankie which she did and what a great night it was even though she was really ill, and hoped to see Keri turn 16 which she did, getting out off hospital to have a family day out to lunch, she started to joke about how she would like to see Keri turn 18 just in case anyone was pulling any strings up there for her but sadly we were told at the start of aug she had two weeks if lucky but helen pushed an extra day out of it no one was dictating to her when she had to leave we all miss her terribly as helen said two nights before she died \\\'it will be harder for all of you than it will be for me\\\' her fighting spirit has learned us that if any of us get something terrible like cancer in life not to lie down to it, fight it all the way, ok it might win at the end of the day, like it did with helen, but she had a bloody good go at it.
We are all very very proud of her god rest you helen till we all meet again and i hope like in life there is a party going on and a good bit of bingo, only i hope you are luckier up there xxxxxxx

Please, Mum, say you're still proud of me

angel for my aunt helen
When you were born, an angel smiled,
As you became a child, an angel sat on your shoulder
When you became an adult, an angel held your hand
As you grew old, an angel walked down the road with you,
And, when you died, another angel got their wings
