Farewell Speech to colleague

I am a primary school teacher who would like to give my colleague a nice speech for her retirement. It does not have to be very long. I have some notes I have made below;While struggling to write my farewell speech I looked up the meaning of the name Janelle. It goes as follows in general, janelle's are quiet and come off standoffish at first. But generally smart and relatively laid back. In my experience janelle's are somewhat more abrasive an uptight those still nice people once you get to know them. Friend or foe you know Janelle will tell you how it is. I believe that's why parents and colleagues often go to her for advice. You don't feel judged or patronised right or wrong she will tell you what she thinks. May you be proud of the work you have done, the person you are, and the difference you have made . Because we sure are! Janel has taught many of your children and many of you likewise taught janelle's children Patti and Lucy. Dancing Queen the one and only Janelle Clough sometimes also known as Mrs fluff as well as our lovely preppies like to say who is going to finish the puzzles in the staffroom even when Jamie steals the last piece. Janelle would often stay past 3:00 PM to keep going on the puzzle in the staff room she even liked them so much that she would finish the puzzles up in prep often staying back to do so. When Janelle first began teaching prep with myself I wondered why would she leave learning enhancement to come to prep I soon realised that it could have been the glitter the glue the play DoH any of you that know her well know how tactile she is from hairy chest teslime anything she can get her hands on I think we even had to lock away the glitter just in case. One of my most memorable moments is Janelle and her lovely friend and our colleague Trudy Lucas partying it up at one of our Christmas parties when we were told we would have to stay and celebrate in the daintree this was not going to stop our dancing Queen from dancing before we knew it bras off being spun around flung in the air and the party had started. As I said Janelle does have a way spreading a little bit of sparkle wherever she goes. Yeah just a bit stressed about this so I don't wanna do it Take time to do what makes your soul happy
