Carolyn - you were my boss for many years and you helped mold me into the worker I am today. You pushed me every day to strive to do better and do more. Thank you for pushing me, relentlessly! Lol I learned that no task is too big or too small as long as you want it! That grade doesn't matter... be your best! Thank you so much and I miss you!
