324/365 - Rest in peace Hawkeye


This past Tuesday a wonderful lady passed away. Helen was a volunteer in my office. She volunteered for over 20 years and "retired" in August of 2008. Helen was there every Tuesday like clock work. She took her work very seriously. There was no extra talking or fooling around. She said "good morning" and then got to work. We had lunch with her and then she stayed until about 3 o'clock. I knew her for 12 years. She loved us (she told us all the time) and we loved her. She was an inspiration to all of us. It was very hard for her to have to retire. The work she did has never been caught up since she left. One of my co-workers posted her obituary over her desk so people coming into our office would know of Helen's passing. She nick-named her Hawkeye because of her keen eye if something was not right with her work. As Cindy wrote, "Rest in peace Hawkeye."
