Such a wonderful person and many fond memories from our younger days. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
Perhaps, saying goodbye does not mean to let her go, maybe it is another way of holding her….
(Afscheid nemen is niet loslaten, het is een andere manier van vasthouden)
Liefs en sterkte voor allen.
Helen was amazing, kind, thoughtful, happy and always saw the best in everyone. I believe she will continue to look after all the people she loves as she did when she was with us. Maree & Skelo. xxx
Thank you Francis for those fabulous stories of Helen!
That vivacious smile was present in each and every photo! I particularly loved the Bridget Jones bunny photo!
Her smile is what I will picture as I think of Helen on my morning beach walks where we often saw each other!
She was a real gem and will be missed!
A connector indeed. Helen had a extraordinary generosity of spirit where you felt instantly connected.
A beautiful soul with a fabulous smile – I could have looked at those photos all day.
Rob and Francis it was a beautiful service service in such difficult circumstances.
My love to all.

Beautiful words spoken by all today. I take comfort knowing we were all together today with our hearts connected even though we were miles apart. (The one blessing of Covid is that we have this lovely recording and all the memories, messages and photos on social media to look back on whenever we need to.) Thank you for coming into ours and Uncle Rob’s life, you are an amazing and inspirational woman. I look forward to the next celebration where we can have a real hug and not a virtual one. Love always Marni, Clayton & Cooper xoxo (and a doggie hug from Frankie as I know you would love that too!)

So many lovely memories of corridor & kitchen chats with Helen in the basement at RACS over many, many years. A much loved and respected colleague, and friend to so many – my condolences to Rob and the Postma family.
Dear Rob, Frances and family,
My thoughts are with you all.
I’m grateful to have known her, as her ‘surrogate’ daughter (because a Fijian thought we were mother and daughter, as we travelled on a RACS Ophthalmology Tonga trip). We regularly laughed about this memory. One of many memories I will cherish.
Helen was an inspiration to so many.
Love Priscilla (aka Cilly) xx

My Friend
I came across a fallen tree.
I heard the branches whisper to me.
Is this the tree, I used to know?
Is this the tree, I helped to grow?
A simple thing, so long ago.
We talked and sang; I loved you so.
And still do, even now as you sleep.
I tip-toe around you, for you I will weep,
Recalling memories so sweet.
You and I grew together.
Our roots run deep.
Entangled souls of this earth,
We were destined to meet.
Nothing can part us.
I am you, and you are me,
My forever friend, you’ll be.
Love always Helen xxxx
Thinking of you all at this sad time.My memories of Helen are all positive.
Love to you Rob and Postma family.
The Russo’s xx
My darling Helen, how my heart breaks. So many of the happiest memories we shared in your beautiful lifetime. There were no secrets between us you were truly the closet person in my life. As i battle this hideous disease as well i have an insight into your bravery, strength and humour. One of the best taken far too soon. Thank you for your lifetime friendship which i hold in the deepest part of my heart and thank you for being a part of my life. All my family would like to extend their deepest condolences to all the Postma family and to Rob and his family.
Fly my angel
all my love Marilyn
Always a smile and an encouraging word for everyone , my thoughts are with you all
Beautiful Helen, you are missed.
Albert Einstein said, “The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.” In one word, Helen was a woman who gave.
You gave so much in your work by nursing others for 40 years. You gave so much to your friends by nurturing those friendships with love, kindness and laughter. You gave so much to your family and partner with your ever present smile, happiness, joy, love and laughter…oh that special smile.
As the eldest child of Josephine and Frank you were a shining light, the best daughter and big sister to Frances, Michael and Edward. Now that you have completed the circle of life, you are at last reunited with your beautiful Mum.
My condolences and big love to the family and to Rob. ♥
Helen, We shared our knowledge in our Periop Course at St V’s. We shared our home in our terrace in Petersham, Sydney. We shared an office at RACS. Thankyou for sharing your life with me. Your friendship, smile and positive attitude to life will remain with me always. A true friend is never forgotten. Together, now with your dear mother.
Helen, you live on in our hearts as we remember you with love
A sad time .Thoughts are with all the family . I regrettably had not seen Helen for many years but her impact on me from babysitting me as a kid to playing at Wilson’s Prom is something I will forever be thankful for . The absolute excitement of her (and Michael) dropping into my school in London as a 10 year old will never be forgotten to me . That day is etched in my memory. It’s hard to explain the effect that visit had and I am eternally grateful for it. That smile and genuine heart will never be forgotten . Rest In Peace and thank you for all the love in my formative years .
My deepest condolences to the Postma family. Helen was a lovely woman who contributed so much during her journey on this earth.
Karen de Keyzer
