Dear Coworker in Heaven now,
The minute I heard about your death, I was in a state of shock. You were always the first and last face I would see during every shift and it kills me to realize that it will no longer be the case anymore. Ever since I started three years ago, I loved seeing you and it would make even the worst days at work better.
I was one to not experience the death of a loved one until I was nineteen years old, so hearing about your death hit me super hard; and not just because of how unexpected it was. I didn't want to believe it once I found out about your passing because I saw you almost every day and not being able to see you every day will be a massive adjustment for me. Work will most definitely not be the same without you, both for me and for the rest of my coworkers.
Like I said before, the death of a loved one is something that I have not really experienced that often, in fact, I've experienced it a lot more rarely than most people have. This is something that I would more than likely be taking a lot more time to adjust than most other people would adjust to the death of a loved one. You truly felt like another aunt to me, and not being able to see you at work anymore is going to be one of the hardest things for me.
I didn't really think that this would be an article that I would end up writing, but since you were someone I would see almost every day and would never miss your face whenever I would walk into work and come out of work. You were probably one of the best parts of working through college, and no one would ever forget about you. I know for a fact that I will never forget about you.
With love,
Your former coworker who will never forget you.
