Helen McElhone RIIP, Altered Images

The Deaths in 2013 site lists under June 6th, the following:
Helen McElhone, 80, British politician, MP for Glasgow Queen's Park (1982–83).
Helen McElhone stands out because of the similarity between her first name, Helen, and her married name McElhone. Nott to mention as well that there's been "Mc" theme occurring in my posts... and in notable deaths as of late.  Note the following excerpts from her wiki page:
Helen Margaret McElhone (10 April 1933[2] – 6 June 2013) was a Scottishpolitician. She worked together with her husband, Frank McElhone, during his time as a Member of Parliament (MP) representing Glasgow from 1969. 
McElhone was born Helen Margaret Brown in Glasgow, daughter of John Brown. She married Frank McElhone in November 1958, and they had two sons and two daughters together.[3] Both of their sons were involved in the band Altered Images, with Gerard McElhone being the band's manager and Johnny McElhone playing in the band on bass guitar.
First of all, her birth day, April 10th, is the 100th day of the year and year of birth has twin "33",  and then there's her maiden name "Brown" which adds to the recent "Brown/Hazel/Dunn" pattern-cluster.  Then there's her husband "Frank"... my last post referenced a Frank as well.  Frank was a notable politician as well and as you can see from the above excerpt, his name provides a link to wiki page.  Although Helen had four children, her son Johnny is the only one with a wiki page.  The band that Johnny and Gerard McElhone played in, "Altered Images" is also meaningful given my previous post that reveals the "altered image" of the number 8 found on an album cover.

Note the following from her son Johnny's wiki page:
    John Francis "Johnny" McElhone (born 21 April 1963)
Note the following in regards to his day of birth:
April 21  111th day of the year (112th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 254 days remaining until the end of the year.
Note the following re Frank McElhone:
 Francis Patrick "Frank" McElhone (5 April 1929 – 22 September 1982)
He too was born in April ... and died on the 22nd of September... another twin number... and 11 days from September 11th... 9/11, the day that has 111 days remaining in the year!!

Note this excerpt from the band, Altered Images, wiki page:
"Dead Pop Stars" and "A Day's Wait", failed to reach the Top 40 in the UK Singles Chart.[1] "Dead Pop Stars" was particularly controversial at the time, sung at the viewpoint of a "has-been" icon with irony, but badly timed in its release shortly after John Lennon's death, even though it was recorded earlier. It was absent from their studio album releases. After these two singles and their first two sessions for John Peel, Caesar left and formed The Wake.
  According to the House of Names site http://www.houseofnames.com/mcelhone-family-crest,  the name McElhone was a Gaelic expression meaning, "Son of the servant storm", also spelled as "McGilloney", so we have the "Gill" aspect cropping up once again.
