Wishing you the very best in retirement. It is hard to believe that the AEA will survive without you and Kandi!

Enjoy,

Region 4 won't be the same! I've really appreciated your expertise and sense of humor over the years. You have such a talent for bringing calm & practical solutions and lightness to situations when it's most needed. Enjoy retirement - I'm guessing you'll be ranchin' and spending time at the river!

Not trying to be an .... (well, you know what) here,

Laurie,

Fine. Just go. I won't even miss you.

Of course I'm kidding and I feel like my tears when you told me you were leaving shared exactly how I feel about this. I will miss you so very much. Your humor, passion for kids, and your ability to bring fun into every situation are amazing. I have been so lucky to get to know you, work with you, and learn from you. I will miss catching up with you and will think of you each time I add an olive to a beverage. I know I will see you again, contact me anytime you are in the big metropolis of Clarksville.

Love,

Emily

Laurie,

How is it possible that you've been here for 31 years?! I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to work closely with you the last few years, and I appreciate everything you have done to support students and adults. We will miss you tremendously. Thank you for being a fabulous human being. I'm not even going to tell you to enjoy your next adventure because there is no doubt in my mind that you will enjoy every minute to the fullest!

Always liked it when our paths crossed either in a chat room or at the AEA; especially enjoyed the Anxiety class.....your sense of humor and "saying it how it is" was always what I needed! Enjoy doing whatever YOU want to do now!!! :o)

Congratulations on reaching retirement! I know that you worked hard to get here! Thanks for all that you did to serve students, families and schools for the past 31 years. I guess this just means that there will be more time for movies!

Love you my dear friend,
