Sorry to hear about your co-worker. Unexpected deaths are always harder to cope with . Not sure the back-handed compliment was appropriate though

So sorry to hear

I didn't mean it in that way? I meant that she was in her 80s and was a lifelong learner, more astute at her job than a majority of other coworkers.

Sorry to hear about your co-worker. Glad you are still able to do your job and make your pts' joke and smile.

i am sorry to hear about your co-worker. it is always hard to lose someone in life even if she was a coworker. running is always a great way to get away from things, even if it is only for a little bit. keep your head up lady.

Thanks for the clarification....the written word can be tricky sometimes.
