I’m writing my March Checking In column with a heavy heart, as all of us here lost a great friend and co-worker when Deborah Espiritu, our executive assistant—and generally the go-to person for everything large and small in the office—passed away recently.
She was the first person many of us here saw when we showed up for our initial job interview, and was that indispensible "glue" that held the office together through thick and thin. If anyone ever had a question about anything, she was the person to ask, and she always responded with good humor and understanding, even if it was something you asked her about repeatedly!
Every enterprise needs a person like Deborah, and we’re going to miss her a lot around here.
