Sacrifice and salvation trailed two steps in the shadow cast by Evelyn Belmonte. Charity and compassion guided her actions. She never allowed a knock at the door to go unanswered, nor an outstretched hand to remain empty. Evelyn understood life was a balancing act, and treated the unseen with as much dignity as her flesh and bone people. Helping lost travelers find their path was Evelyn's forte, and she believed being kind was its own reward. She was always able to close her eyes in peace at the end of each day, knowing the universe was keeping her safe. Her work was what mattered most of all. Whether going around to the homes of shut-ins on Sunday afternoons, or traipsing far into the wild in search of supplies, Evelyn Belmonte carried out the instructions her erstwhile companions delivered from over her shoulder.
