It is with deep sadness that we remember our dear colleague and friend.
Working alongside you was both a privilege and a pleasure. Your professionalism, integrity, and dedication were evident in everything you did, but it was your kindness, warmth, and willingness to help others that truly set you apart.
You were more than a coworker - you were a mentor, a teammate, and a friend. Though you are no longer with us, your memory will remain in our hearts and in the countless lives you touched.
Rest peacefully. You will always be remembered.
