I was on that trip to Gull Island. Helen was an amazing person who greeted us and brought us around the island. She climbed straight up a ladder onto a roof and I said to myself “if she can do that, so can I,” so up I went for a great view!! Scary moment!! She will be missed by all the people she touched!
