Write a Tribute for Someone at a Leaving Do

The leaving do is at five. You need to say something and 'she was really brilliant' does not cut it. This writes the tribute: warm, specific, one thing people will remember, and a closing line that sounds like it came from you rather than a template. Under three minutes to read and considerably better than winging it.

Write a short tribute for {COLLEAGUE_NAME} who is leaving [their role or the company]. They are known for [two or three specific qualities or things they are famous for in the team]. My relationship to them is [briefly describe]. The tone should be warm but not soppy. Include one specific thing they did or said that people will remember. Keep it to 150 to 200 words and end with a line that wishes them well without being generic. Avoid 'journey', 'amazing', and 'best wishes'.
