Your beautiful smile will be missed in Andover, MA
I had the pleasure to work with you when you were part of our small organization in Andover, MA. You were so bright and so helpful. You were always so kind when I expressed my desire to explore other avenues within the Federal government to further my career. You took the time to include me in learnings that had nothing to do with my current functions, and for that, I’m eternally grateful. You barely knew me, but made me feel welcome, thank you.
It is with immense sadness to hear that we won’t be hearing that soothing, beautiful voice of yours. Thank you for being the wonderful person that you were, and you’ll forever be in our hearts.
Miss you already, Marie-Andree (Andover, MA)
