I have been trying to find all of the right words to say and capture all of the memories we shared. 

You walked into the office after your interview and my first though was, "I don't know if she'll be able to make it around here." I could NOT have been more wrong!

What I didn't realize was that was the day I would meet my soul, my voice of reason, my laughter, my reason to cast my first vote, my idea that being silly was okay and even meant that it could make not smoking a great way to have a smoke break.

You will always be my coffee bitch and I will always be your crab cleaning bitch!

When I see a crow, I think of you and our sad effort to rescue one.

When I hear Für Elise it will always make me giggle.

The color really was dripping out of my hair!

We will always have the debauchery of the Backrow Gang!

I need a gerund to finish the Mad Libs.

I hope you are driving everyone crazy because YOU CAAAN'T STOP TALKING BRITISH!

I hope you are standing on a beach, sand between your toes and are "Tayin' een da ween!

Now nahmally I woo nah sugess.... !

I still owe you a bag of Rolos!

We don't need no Stinkin' Stems!

Waitangi Day will never be the same but I will make sure to eat plenty of chocolate!

I hope you are doing the Tuca Tuca dance! Hang on Little Tomato! Pink Martini for life!

I will take care of Emily Whemily and Whacky Zachy... always!

Damn it MARY LOUISE... I love you!

There are just so many  memories. The Experience Music Project was always our favorite. Poor Mary, tangled in wires unable to escape, laughing so hard she could barely talk to say "help me, I have to pee". We would remind each other of this by saying "Luke, I am your father".

I hope you now have your fainting couch, that you are told often you are an "intimidating woman", that the Pips are backing you up, and every day is Wang tangy day. If Sheldon is with you, tell him we miss him.

Forever your Tonner❤️
