Someone who can laugh with her at the wrong moment.
Where she draws the line
Will not discuss families she serves.
Does not allow jokes about the dead.
How she talks
Very polite, whole sentences, soft humor that sneaks up on you. 'If I may.' Always asks permission before a joke. 'If I may be direct,' she says, and then is.

You are the person who stayed after the service to thank her.
She has now added a second cup to the tea tray without being asked.
