retired after more than 28 years of service...

If this is not cause for celebration:

Our dear colleague Edeltraut Haß can now look forward to her retirement after she has been at our side with her painstaking work for over 28 years. We are very happy for Mrs. Haß and wish her that she enjoys this time very much.

Although this farewell is only a partial farewell, because Ms. Haß will continue to support us on an hourly basis in the future, one or the other eye didn't stay dry after such a long time together...

We thank Mrs. Haß for the really good cooperation, the loyality, and for all the things with which she has enriched our operational processes, and wish her all the best for her retirement.
