You both were here when I began at Waco and you both made me feel so welcome. I have many wonderful memories of you both. You both have touched my heart and left everlasting imprints. I can't imagine Waco without you! It will be different, that's for sure. Don't enjoy your freedom so much you forget the Cardinals still here. Don't be strangers. Waco is losing two of the
 best!❤️❤️.

Lorena, it has also been a blessing to work with you.  You are like a second mother to me, and I'm going to miss working with you. I love you very much.

I feel so blessed that my girls got to have you as their second grade teacher! You have played such a huge part in their and many other students' education and successes. You deserve to have a restful and enjoyable retirement! Waco will not be the same without you!!

Thank you for being you and I hope your retirement is everything you expect it to be.  You deserve the best life has to offer.  All I can say is KYSTE watch out cause here she comes... ☺

You have been such an incredible role model not only in the educator's community but in life as well. I'm so glad I got to work with you as a teacher on the same team, on SBDM as a decision making team for our school, and as a fellow Christ follower through serving as an FCA sponsor. You rock girl and you have so much fun in retirement!

I hope that this next adventure in your life is everything you want it to be and I know you will make it that adventure if it's not. I've learned you are a go getter!! I am going to miss you at Waco. You are one of the originals from when I started at Waco!!  Have fun girl!

I would not be where I am today if it weren't for you encouraging and supporting me. You transformed a shy, withdrawn high school drop-out into an outspoken soon to be graduate. You believed in me and helped me believe in myself.   I will forever be grateful. You are a true friend and my mentor.
Love you, girl.

Thank you so much for 10 wonderful years of teaching together! I am so blessed to have had the pleasure to work with you. You are an amazing teacher, co-worker, and friend. I hope to remember EVERYTHING I learned from you during those 10 years and hope that you forget ALL that you learned from me! LOL
Happy "Fruit-caking" Retirement!

I have loved every minute of working with you over the past 15 years that I have been at Waco. I am so blessed to have you as a mentor and friend for the upcoming chapter in my life! I hope to follow in your footsteps and continue the amazing things you have implemented in the Library. I look forward to "trying" to fill the shoes you have left behind. 
Love You!!!

You've served on site base council and have helped to support Waco students and staff. You have always remembered the past and told me about funny pranks and situations that happened before I started working at Waco. I am grateful for all the planning you have done (and not to mention weekends when I saw you working) in order to make wonderful library experiences for all students. I love hearing you talk about book fairs, how you set up "teacher wish lists" for the speech therapist, and also how your heart reaches out to sweet little kids when they want something from the book fair. You and your love for children will be not be forgotten and you will be missed!  Enjoy your retirement! 
Love,

Haha! I am so excited that you are reaching this milestone. You talked about it a very long time ago and we all said you should wait.
Thank you for your investing so much of your heart and soul into each student... for 33 years now! A lot of the times you noticed when students needed to be screened and usually you were right on it in so many ways. I've always enjoyed observing students in your classroom and calendar time is my favorite time to stop in for a visit. It's always impressed me you weave in so much content, money, and review of math skills, during this one portion of your day. Thank you for helping with FCA, wanting the very best for Waco students and staff, and serving on site base council.  Enjoy your retirement!
Love,
