The family of a 'devoted' midwife who died on a plane in front of her children had been 'so excited' about returning to their home in the UK, neighbours revealed
"She was so fit and healthy and she worked in the medical profession. They have had this house for many years. They moved to Hong Kong about 15 years ago. They didn't rent it out. They kept it.
"We knew they were coming back for good. They were so excited about it. They were supposed to be back on Friday but then this happened." They added that Mrs Rhodes' side of the family live nearby, where Mr Rhodes and the children are staying and taking care of each other following the tragedy.Close family friend Jayne Jeje set up the fundraiser to help the family get the mother-of-two's body brought home and to "honour our dear friend Helen".
