Annie, The G.O.A.T of all things tech and beauty. When I was first introduced to the concept of "Annie" I told Justin, we are going to be friends. I have loved bonding over stupid shows, our love of scrap booking, and our enthusiasm of all things CM. You have inspired me to think outside the box and truly lean into creativity. Thanks for the laughs that almost made me wet myself, and our private bond and talk about all things baby. You are appreciate more than words can ever say!

Annie - this picture spoke to me in so many ways to capture some of the gift you have contributed to my life. There is a sarcastic, real humor you bring that when unpacked, shows the tremendous love you have for others around you. You deeply care for those you live life with and give of yourself to ensure their well-being, event to the point of sacrifice of self. This picture does not do it justice, but I hope it captures a bit of the reasons I have so appreciated you as a person, a professional, a human being.  Whatever the next step means for you, I know that you will continue to bend the world around you towards goodness, given your LOVE, TRUST, RESPECT, and CARING you bring with you. Keep leading with Justin to transform each other, those you have stewardship of in this season, and those you will meet in the coming journey.

I am truly going to miss you. Your laugh, your joy, your passion for what you do. I'll miss your creativity and your ingenuity. I'll miss our early morning chats when we are the first ones in the office. I'll miss your parties that showed both your endless compassion but also your ceaseless creativity. I hope that in whatever your next step is, you do it with as much verve and integrity as you did here. With much appreciation,
- Isaac

I am going to miss your presence on our team! You bring so much joy, laughter, and light into people's lives. You remind me to laugh when work seems hard or "serious". Yet you balance the joy with creativity and you never take your eyes off the prize to ensure that everything you do is high-quality. You've made such a huge impact in how we communicate with our external stakeholders! I am PROUD of what you've helped to compile and communicate. I appreciate your willingness to always learn and grow in every space together. You will make a huge impact wherever you go next!

You make life better for everyone you meet. You are hilarious, strong, smart, talented, creative, capable, driven, thoughtful in an almost Olympic way, methodical, and just so damn generous. I can't believe Chicago gets to call you its own soon. Chicago is so lucky. I hate Chicago. The amount of lessons we have learned together, the parties you've planned that I got to go to, the dip you've prepared, the systems you have either created or fortified - it all goes on and on and it's just too much. Watching you step into the role of a parent has been one of the most raw and inspiring experiences of my life. You teach me what mothering looks like to a teenager that needs you. I'm shoring up my grit and determination right now because of you. Thank you for everything. I am planning to force friendship and love upon you for years and years to come. Thanks in advance for allowing me to do that. I love you! Enjoy this gif of actual footage of me without you.

Where to begin. I love you so much! Your humor, passion for excellence, and care for other has made an impact in my life. This year has been a whirlwind of change and you've taken it by the horns and kicked a**. (I initially wrote out the word, but decided to censor myself). You will always have a special place in my heart for your deep compassion for others, crafts, and for your amazing dip.

Seriously though Annie. You are one of the most genuine, incredible women I've ever met. I feel so seen and cared for by you as a teammate and person. You've pushed me to be a better teammate (in my stress induced moments of chaos pre-event days) and modeled how to be a better woman in so many ways. I am incredibly grateful for you and will need to stop soon because I will burst into tears. Thank you for being you! <3

In true Jessica fashion, I have Googled "saddest moments from the Office" as a visual representation of how I feel. <3 I've never watched the office, but I know it means a lot to you and speaks our mutual love language of memes. <3

You're amazing! Your creativity is serious enviable.  I I don't know how you you do it, but you set a high bar.

I'm so grateful for your contribution and how you showed up in our team. Your humor and genuineness reminds us all to not get caught up in the things that don't matter but rather to laugh and lead just as who we are.
Thank you for your tenacity. Thank you for choosing this road of equity and justice and thank you for modeling love through every decision you've made for your family.  We will miss you!
