"I really appreciate this honor.  Buvana truly cared about the work she did, but more importantly, the people she worked with.  She was the most genuinely kind person I have known and her enthusiasm for life was contagious.  Her plate was always overflowing with work, but she never hesitated to make time to simply ask “how are you doing”, and she sincerely wanted to know.  I know I have said this before, but I really miss our early morning conversations where she would insist I stop yelling at my kids to be quiet because she loved hearing the toddler chaos unfolding all around me.  It almost seemed like she intentionally timed her calls to coincide with the kids reaching peak fight mode."
