Helene has always been a special person in my life. She was my first executive Secretary and she guided and protected me in a world that was way over my head. Helene was happy. It didn't matter what the circumstances were good or bad she was happy. After I left that job and moved on I still stayed in touch with her and at least once a year I tried to take her out to dinner. She always loved those times and never lost that little giggle at the end of her sentences. before the holidays two years ago I took my new wife to her home to introduce her and they made an immediate connection and I got the thumbs up! 6 weeks ago I called to set up a visit but she preferred to just talk on the phone so we chatted for about 1/2 hour. A few days later got a card and picture from her thanking me for calling! She always believed in me and there was never a doubt that I would be successful in her mind. losing her puts a hole in my heart but it fills quickly with warm memories of her. I love you Helene, KC
