As we prepare to bid farewell to Joy Rainey at the end of this week, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation for everything she has brought to our department. Joy's exceptional support, willingness to go above and beyond, and eagerness to give her time and energy whenever it was needed have been truly invaluable. We simply couldn’t have managed without her steadfast commitment and the positive spirit she brought to the office each day. Though her absence will be felt deeply, the impact of her work will carry on. We wish Joy nothing but success and happiness in the future—she will be greatly missed.
