I worked with Helga many years ago. I think it was Schlage Lock. Such a lovely lady. She was well liked by everyone. She once invited me to visit her home. I'm so sorry to hear of Helga's passing. I pray that the family finds comfort from fond memories in the days gone by. I never forgot Helga even though that was 30+ yrs. ago. May she rest in peace.
