In Memory of Helen Adcock

 

Helen Adcock

Helen Adcock

Helen was a popular member of the Isle of Man Kart Racing Club, who was tragically taken from us at the last day of the 2005 Peel Grand Prix, during the practice setion before the finals. She was an experienced karter (competing on the island and in the UK for several years), a committee member, but above all, a friendly caring person whose smile will be sadly missed by all those who had the priviledge of meeting her.

Over the time that has passed since our loss of Helen, your kind words and thoughts have meant a lot, and your warmth and generosity that was shown was most appreciated at what was a very difficult time.

For those who wish to say goodbye to Helen, offer their condolences, or simply say a few words please feel free to use the condolence box below.

I miss Helen so much... I hope that this page will be somewhere that everyone who feels the same as I, will be able to gain support from her friends & family

Mary (16:46pm 28/07/05)
It's impossible to believe we won't see Helen again. There is no sense to what has happened and my thoughts are with Tom especially, who Helen talked about with so much love. Ascot will never be the same.

Karen B (15:28pm 24/07/05)
To My Special Friend

Friendship is a special gift,
Shared between me and you.
Not only on a special day,
But the whole year through.

We have both had our ups and downs,
And got through them in our on way
For you are always close in mind
Each and everyday

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Whenever I needed someone to talk to
You were always there
My eyes filled with tears, my heart filled with pain
You were always there.

Now your gone, and I don’t know what to do
I close my eyes and think of you and
How you were always there

Its hard to look at pictures and all those memories of you
I know one day I’ll see you again
But till then I will have to say goodbye

I still see your face in my dreams
It hurts and it doesn’t help at all
Even though it hurts to hear your name, and speak of you
One thing I will say is
I will always love forever my very dear friend.

Karen

John (19:55pm 19/07/05)
Helen, You may no longer be with us but the memory of that smile will always remain. Rest in peace John

Ken Walker (11:25am 18/07/05)
Having been in hospital recently I was unable to come to Peel this year. However I was made so welcome last year and one of the best experiences was Helen's lovely smile and bubbly personality. I was so sad to learn this news. Ken Walker:Kart Commentator

The Taylors (9:56am 18/07/05)
Hi Helen, although our friendship was short it still is very memorable. We first meet at the dog club where later your lovely son Tom started to show my Archie, did we have some laughs. Later on we became good friends both you and Tom calling in to see me and the whippies, you were there when I needed you the most, first with Molly and the puppies and then when we lost one, you were there to cheer me up. But what I remember the most is the Christmas dog party where you and I kept throwing ourselves on the floor to prevent the adults beating the children, did we laugh and get shouted at, because deep down we are both big kids at heart. As I am writing this I am chuckling to myself, because to this day I can still pictured the both of us being totally silly on the floor. Losing someone is always difficult but to lose a true friend is harder but I know that you will be looking down on all of us, especially Tom and watching over him. God Bless you. All our love Janetta and Paul. XXXX Woof, woof, Archie, Molly, Billy and Lucy

J&M Morrow (22:30pm 17/07/05)

Roger Sheff (0:37am 14/07/05)
I have read through the tributes on this site and I can say nothing better (or more) but add my sincere condolences to her family and friends

Ascot girls (21:39pm 13/07/05)
Helen has visited us in June for the last few years, for a trip to Ascot. Always a truly amazing day and for all of you who don’t know, she looked as fabulous in a posh dress, as she did in her racing gear. Helen would almost always be sporting an injury from her Karting exploits, generally some amazing bruises, or a sprained finger or two. She would always be bussing about the race meeting she was going home too. Sadly we didn’t all get together this year as Ascot was being held in York. If we had, we would have seen her only a few weeks ago.... How we wish we could have said goodbye. Helen will be missed so very much. Helen, we loved you so much and will miss you dearly. Our deepest sympathy to Helen's family and friends.

C & S Brown (21:36pm 13/07/05)
We have spent many days wondering how we could put into words and express our feelings about our very privileged friendship & love for Helen…......A truly wonderful person who had a passion and love for so many things. She became a member of our family here in Coventry and will be missed dearly. Our sincerest sympathy to Sam & his family especially Tom (her pride & joy!!), to Gary, Helens father and family and all of her many friends. Good night & god bless Helen. Treasured memories.... Charles and Sue XXXXX

Fielden (12:31pm 12/07/05)

Edwina (10:12am 09/07/05)
The first day I appeared at Karting to help Helen was the first to smile that lovely smile and say hello. After that she used to come to my shop regularly for a cup of coffee, and one day she told me she so loved Karting she intended to take her Kart to Jurby school to show the kids. Sadly, she didn't get the chance, but I know she would hate it if anyone was put off the sport by her tragic accident, so let's take the club from strength to strengh as a tribute to her. Other than that, Helen, I'll miss you coming into the shop and I'll miss you at Jurby. We all will. God bless. Eddy.

Andrew j (21:35pm 08/07/05)

A Marshal (15:10pm 07/07/05)
Helen Adcock, Racer and Marshal Earlier this year we had great pleasure in spending a sunny day sat by the side of the road at Killane, enjoying the first ARA road race of the year. The day was made memorable as, besides the sun shining for once, the usual marshalling gang was joined by a young lady called Helen who turned up with her son, and another two she was minding for a certain Mr Crowe. She had signed on to marshal with us as she knew we were always in need of people who can help the racers if something happens to them. She fitted right in with us immediately, chatting about and laughing at the antics of the kids, about kart racing, and about the possibility of her having a go as a sidecar passenger later this year. She was funny and full of life, a genuinely nice person. We invited her to join us again at the July road race. She said she would, if we signed on to marshal the Kart GP. So we did, and a very enjoyable time we had too, until Saturday came. Fate would have it that one of the Killane crew was on station at Heathfield Drive that night, and was given the honour of saying goodbye to Helen for us all with a wink and a smile. Sorry we won't see her next week at Killane, but we'll be thinking of her when we sit at the side of the road. Our most heartfelt condolences to Helens friends and family, especially to the very pleasant young man she was proud to call her son. The Killane Marshals.

Graham (14:45pm 07/07/05)
Having raced at Peel for the last three years I can say that I found Helen to be a very friendly person and a joy to meet, who would always have enough time for a chat.

Wayne Frees (14:05pm 07/07/05)
Helen, I will miss your smile and the great chats we used to have. You are constantly in my thoughts and I will never forget you. You were one of the boys and will be missed.

chris m (12:48pm 07/07/05)
you will be sadly missed
