Memories of Helmut 'Hal' Jeske
It feels like a lifetime ago, when my family first came to Australia. We lived in Sydney, my mom Annelies Daphne Moran, my sister Karen and myself Kristine, we lived in Hunters Hill at the time, not a worry in the world was had.
Merrilyn, Helmut, Carolyn and Scheryl also lived in Hunters Hill. They had a very steep driveway. The home was absolutely beautiful and full of laughter.
We had birthday parties, play dates abound and of course Sunday School and Summer camps.
I remember so many happy times, The Volvo adventures where we would go to camp in the car, piled up high with pillows, music and laughter. I will never forget these times.
Good summer times they were and bonfires in camp singing quite badly were had until we all piled back into the Volvo and drove home. I often wonder where this place was as my memory of this eludes me.
Our bond has never broken, Scheryl was in the same year grade and age as my sister, Carolyn and I were one year up, our bond has always been there and we have been friends ever since.
Special mention of the trampoline in the backyard, overlooking Sydney Harbour, bouncing until we could bounce no more. We would swim in the harbour, climb trees and laugh. Sleep overs probably drove the adults in the home mad !
The Jeske family are friends to so many and Helmut together with Merrilyn made sure you felt welcome.
I often think about how blessed we are to have these memories.
From myself, Karen, my mother Annelies Daphne, Greg and I, just know we wish we were there today and love you all so very much, as we are there in spirit.
The memories will live on forever.
All our love
Kristine Fleming & Family
