My memory of Henri. We called her that at work. She was a hard working woman! She had a special way to take out wrinkles and fold the sheets etc. She always checked pockets to be sure there were no tissues! She even smoothed out the towels and wash clothes. It was neatly in piles! The clothes on hangers were laid over the bins. Then hung up! She taught me everything! Se loved to share photos of her family. She talked alot about being down south. She missed her family greatly. She always showed up at work earily. A pleasant smile and personality. She said she would retire when she was ready! Heat in the summer was nice but the winter was cold! One special lady who I will always remember her ways because she taught me!
