You always made me feel like I was funny and smart despite my being a total spaz, which I appreciate as well. You let me be myself, and I think everyone's experienced that- that you love us for who we are, and listened to us and treated us like we're important and special. That it was more than just a job for you- you genuinely care. I could always count on you to be in a good mood when I wasn't, to be calm when I was frustrated, to not mind me asking a ton of dumb questions about paychecks and taxes and insurance, whatever, and to laugh at my dumb jokes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was always nice to know that in a new and strange part of my life I knew you'd have my back and encourage me. You will be missed around here, quite a bit, and I can guarantee walking to your office at least a dozen times, only to turn around, frowning, because I remember that you're gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Much much much love and  respect.

Every time I drink a coke, eat donuts/bagels, use any type of disposable kitchenware, wipe my hands with paper towels, use soap, make a stickynote.....etc. (you get the picture...the list is endless!), I'll think of you and how lucky we were to have you around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will miss seeing your smile around the office and friendly hugs that I'd get every now and then.  I don't think TAG or Mr. Nunez would be too thrilled with giving me one...hahah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you Connie for being so wonderful.  Best and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;only&lt;/span&gt; Apogee mom ever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope to still see you around more often,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Titus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bC09cfb9DEU/SScgRIuUx4I/AAAAAAAAAB8/MzX49iUFgRc/s1600-h/Connie.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 374px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bC09cfb9DEU/SScgRIuUx4I/AAAAAAAAAB8/MzX49iUFgRc/s400/Connie.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271217367632103298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(The first day I met Connie)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6953393919046286738-647838670992263418?l=conniesmithsblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conniesmithsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/647838670992263418/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6953393919046286738&amp;postID=647838670992263418' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6953393919046286738/posts/default/647838670992263418'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6953393919046286738/posts/default/647838670992263418'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conniesmithsblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/connie-you-are-wonderful.html' title='Connie, You are Wonderful'/><author><name>Connie's Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09547931283256513616</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bC09cfb9DEU/SSRjVXw-GQI/AAAAAAAAAAY/bikn_KKwW-E/S220/DSC_0005.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bC09cfb9DEU/SScgRIuUx4I/AAAAAAAAAB8/MzX49iUFgRc/s72-c/Connie.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953393919046286738.post-4298525302172510999</id><published>2008-11-21T07:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-21T08:04:25.497-08:00</updated><title type='text'>We'll Miss You Connie!</title><content type='html'>Hi Connie,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You were one of the first lovely faces I met on my first day here at Apogee.
