It truly has been a blessing to work with you these (almost) last 2 years.  Thank you for your mentoring and guidance as well as sharing your laughter and experience with me.  I am better for it - and will carry it forward in my ministry.  Safe travels to Virginia and we will miss you here.  All Best wishes,  Whitney

I will miss you all (Thunder, I only know you virtually, but there is a lot of that over the last 1.5 years!). The office next to mine (and Alice, I know they are both your offices) will feel very empty for me (though I understand that Debbie has a cat friend named Trinity!) without you all.

Alice and Thunder, you don't need me to tell you how extraordinary Abbott is, but just for emphasis sake, I will. Rather than choosing one or several areas of the life of Church as focus, it seems to me that anything that relates to the new life of the Church, the new life that the Spirit offers, this is where Abbott puts her energy.

I have been greatly blessed by Abbott's ministry and I know that the Diocese of Virginia will be too.

With much love and many prayers,
Marc

You will always be surrounded in love!
I so enjoyed working with you and could always count on your processing skills.  I will miss your beautiful laugh!  Remain Well.

I have so enjoyed working with you during the last two months and so appreciated your onboarding help. Virginia is receiving a real gem.  You will be a blessing to them as you have been a blessing to us.  We will miss you.
Hugs and love,
Michele

Our loss is VA's gain. Blessings on this new adventure for you. Thank you for all you have shared: for your work in this diocese, your wisdom and perspective, and all you have taught me personally. Blessings on this new phase of ministry. And I will see you again, I'm sure, at conferences, on webinars, perhaps zoom church or a visit to Richmond since I have family and friends there as well.

Dear Abbott, I'm eternally grateful for the timing of your too-short presence in DioCal and the beginning of my ordained ministry.

Thank you for your gifts for disturbing our comfort and holding tenderly the most fragile dimensions of shared life. Thank you for your ready humor, collaboration and clarity when the demands have been great.

Many congratulations on your new post. Go where the Spirit blows, with blessings and canines to the ordinary.

Dear Abbott,

Wishing you many blessings and success on this new journey. I believe that God has perfect timing and perfect plans for all his faithful servants, and I know you are one of them. I am so glad the Episcopal church has someone like you, and we will keep seeing you around.
Diocal was so lucky to have you, and now Virginia will too.
See you around.

Dear Abbott,
It seems much too soon to be saying goodbye. We made a good team!
I appreciate that from day one you were committed to building connections in the Diocese.
I'm sure you will continue your courageous leadership in Virginia and beyond.
With best wishes always,
Denise

It has been a pleasure working with you
- almost two years!
I will miss hearing you come up the stairs in the morning with Alice in tow.
I was also looking forward to having Thunder accompany you to the office.
Wishing you the best of everything.
Keep in touch with us!
You will be missed...

Dear Abbott,

It's been such a pleasure working with you over these past few years!

Your work here has been so impactful — on so many fronts — and I am certain our diocese will continue to see the fruits of your influence in the coming years.

Blessings to you, Alice, and Thunder as you embark on this new adventure!
