Tributes - Bon Voyage<br />
Astrid Read<br />
The journey through life is an interesting<br />
track<br />
But for Astrid and Craig there is no turning<br />
back<br />
It’s time to write your next chapter and create<br />
some adventure abroad<br />
Your bravery for starting a new is something<br />
to applaud<br />
An exciting chapter awaits, a journey begins<br />
Although both scary and exciting, it’s bound<br />
to lead to great wins<br />
While South Africa is your home and for it<br />
you might yearn<br />
It’s time to give the land of Kiwis and Maori’s<br />
a turn<br />
Astrid has fitted in perfectly into the Lighthouse<br />
team<br />
Where laughter is aplenty, and support supreme<br />
We complement each other in so many ways<br />
Whether it’s finding lost keys, deliberating,<br />
lending a helping hand or offering praise<br />
Let’s face it, we are all slightly off the wall<br />
But through encouragement and jest we have<br />
always survived it all<br />
Without question or query you have always<br />
had our backs<br />
Your nurturing nature, your concern and<br />
countless kind acts<br />
Your laughter, your consideration, your wisdom<br />
and sharing<br />
Your golden heart that knows no boundaries<br />
of caring<br />
Your generous spirit, your warmth and sincerity<br />
we admire<br />
Your intuition and concern for others is<br />
something to inspire<br />
Learning support is your heart, your passion,<br />
your drive<br />
To truly connect with each learner is that for<br />
which you strive<br />
Your way with the boys is something to behold<br />
Fond memories of you we shall always uphold<br />
We shall never forget you, you made such an<br />
impact<br />
An incredible colleague of which that is a fact<br />
Without you, our team will never be the<br />
same<br />
Our time has been short, but sweet, and we<br />
are so glad you came<br />
Empathy always encircles all that you do<br />
But for now, our dear friend, it’s time to wish<br />
you well and bid you adieu<br />
Candice Fletcher and Jan Mallen<br />
You have definitely made your mark in two<br />
short years<br />
And now that you prepare to leave us, we are<br />
left with some tears<br />
Your approach has always been one of charm<br />
and grace<br />
And to match there has always been a beautiful<br />
smile on your face<br />
We love that you are sharp, insightful and<br />
witty<br />
Your zest for life, compassion and ability to be<br />
gritty<br />
