I received some very sad news today...Celia, a good friend from Medtronic passed away over the weekend. I was shocked to hear this news as I'm sure were others at Medtronic. It makes me very sad because Celia had just retired from Medtronic and was finally going to be able to join her husband, Dick, on all of his trips to Arizona and other trips that he has taken since his retirement.
Celia was my supervisor for the first year or two that I worked at Medtronic and after she was no longer my supervisor we became good friends. I remember when I had surgery in December of 2004, she called me at home to see how I was doing and we ended up talking on the phone for over 3 hours! We had a blast talking and I really got to know her...I remember saying to her "You know what Celia, I really like you now that you aren't my supervisor". She just laughed. She loved talking to all of the customers that called in to the customer service department at Medtronic and did everything she could to help them even during the worst of times there. I remember I had e-mailed her a picture of my cat, Harley, with his Christmas tie on...she printed out the picture and hung it in her cube, she kept it up all year long. She always asked me about my kitties and we exchanged kitty stories as she had 3 cats of her own.
Goodbye, Celia...you will be missed. :(
