784.0. "take care. you will be missed" by TPVAX5::WHITEWAY () Fri Jun 16 1989 16:17

    	This note has been spurned by someone very special to me. I
    therefore dedicate this note to those who pass through our lives
    and leave an impact on our everyday living.
    
    	I sat for a while trying to decide what to say.. I simply can
    not do justice to all I want to say. You have been a great fellow
    employee and an even better freind.
    
    	How many times have you set me back on course when you saw me
    sway? How many times have you made me laugh, when inside all i felt
    was anger, sorrow, and emptiness? When ever things got rough you
    were there.
    
    	If you only knew how many peoples lives you have effected in
    your daily routine, I think you would be surprised. Always forgiving;
    always helping those who needed; and never asking foranything in
    return.
    
    				"THANK YOU"
    	The words seem empty without getting to the source of the feelings.
    You, my freind, will be sorely missed. 
    
    	Tho you will no longer be with us each day, sharing; laughing,
    you will forever be in a special part of my heart. Till the next
    time our paths meet, take care and be well.
    
    	I can not do justice. So I will suffice by saying, " Goodluck,
    and thank you"

784.1How so?HARDY::REGNELLSmile!--Payback is a MOTHER!Wed Jun 21 1989 23:3814
    
    Spurned?
    
    Do you mean the person just did not know how to say "thank you for
    the compliment..." or that the person actually adminished you for
    sharing your warm thoughts?
    
    Many of us stumble when we are faced with genuine caring accompanied
    by actual positive comments. We are too busy defending and arranging
    to learn how to accept a compliment gracefully.
    
    Just a thought.

784.2Not Spurned.. Now to learn to use thersaurusTPVAX1::WHITEWAYThu Jun 22 1989 12:0820
    Melinda,
    
    	(Ever have one of those days?) Until you put your reply in,
    I never even realised I used that word. **Spurned** Opps! So I retract.
    That was a simple case of brain working slower than the fingers....
    I certainly did not mean spurned.... More like "Borne of"..."Stirred
    by"....."Brought forth"....ALL in the most positive ways.
            I was attempting to say......" This note was a piece that
    wished to convey my gratitude and contentment for knowing you!"
    Hows that.??? Sounds kinda choppy to me, but it is the general idea..
    
    So in answer to your reply, No ! there was no negative reason for
    writing the base note. Just the simple fact that so many people
    pass our lifes, (both in work and personally) and we never say thank
    you. We never say, "Hey it was grand working with you and knowing
    you.." "It was (And continues to be) great, knowing you are a freind.."
    
    
    curt

784.6FROM AN ENGLISH MAJORLETO::ZIMMERMANNFri Jun 23 1989 20:304
    SPURNED?
    
    DO YOU, PERHAPS, MEAN "SPURRED"?  LEAVE IT TO AN ARIZONAN TO THINK
    OF SPURS.
784.7Whew! I feel better...SUPER::REGNELLSmile!--Payback is a MOTHER!Fri Jun 23 1989 22:1724
    
    Hi Curt,
    
    Sorry it has taken me so long to answer...I have been eye-ball
    deep in VAXcluster-ese...[what fun-oh joy!]
    
    Well....since you didn't mean spurned...I feel sooo much better
    about your base note! Here I was thinking that you were an unhappy
    camper when all along you were just singing someone's praises!
    
    I, for one, want to congratulate you on having the grace to do so.
    As you said, it is all too often that we let folks drift away without
    so much as "Gee, it was neat knowing you...". You must be a pretty
    neat person yourself to have the sensitivity to say so about someone.
    
    FWIW...Good work! I hope someone will be so nice when I move on.
