She said bye-for-a-while in a meme 2-1/2 or 3 months (?) ago. I 'spoke' with her about a month ago and she stuck her head in to upvote some people's memes a couple weeks ago. She's still stating that she'll be back when some family issues are taken care of. God, I hope so. It was always nice to come to work and see her distinctively personal brand of humor first thing in the morning.
