“Bye, Felicia.”
In all seriousness, I have had the pleasure over my last several years in state government to work with and learn from Rikeesha. I will never be able to repay her for the countless pep talks she has given and words of wisdom she has imparted. A pro through and through, the state will miss her, and I am thankful for her friendship.
