Hey former roomie, I wish you nothing but happiness in your upcoming retirement. You deserve nothing but the best. Our department will not be the same without you.

I'll miss you, lunch buddy. Travel the world and make the most of your new chapter!

I really should have taken your class so I would know how to say Congrats on Your Retirement! in another language. Either way, you deserve it!

I feel so lucky to have worked next to you for these past few years. You greeted every single student with the most enthusiastic BUON GIORNO every period. I truly hope I can enjoy my career and the kids as much as you did after teaching for so long. The kids love you because they can see how much you love them. Enjoy your retirement!!!

I could not be any happier than to retire with you! We started together, and we finish together. It has been a great ride and made that much more exciting by having you to share it with. I'll always be thankful for the laughs, and most especially, our wonderful travels. Exciting times ahead, Tati! Enjoy it all in good health and happiness. :-)

Lunch is gonna suck! I will miss all the laughter. I hate we didn't get a proper goodbye, but I am so glad I had the opportunity to get to know and love you. You are such an awesome person and you deserve nothing but the best and all that retirement has to offer....which I'm going to assume is A LOT of travel! Enjoy and soak it all in because you so deserve it.
Best of luck in your new chapter.
I miss you already,

So many memories over the years in our department and you have always been a Pilar and a role model to us all. From traveling the world, organizing tour groups and creating beautiful Italian opportunities for our students... you will be missed.  Your style, grace and sharp wit have always been an incredible part of our department.  I hope to sit with you again over wine and hear of your trips in the near future. I love hearing your stories and hope to continue to hear of new adventures to come. May you enjoy the road ahead and please know how much you are loved, missed and admired. Hope to see you soon again and I am very sad that the year ended this way. I know you have many fun days awaiting you ahead. Looking forward to seeing the paintings, sunsets and wine time to come! Love you Tati.

Tati,
From the minute I met you I knew I wanted you to be part of my "Howitt people"!
Thank you for your kindness, for instilling the beauty of language to your students and for our shared "language of girls" who we live with!
I'm not saying goodbye as I fully intend to see you as often as possible, preferably somewhere warm and sandy!
Lots of love,
Maryellen
