Agnes Dera

It took some time to write about Agnes. I was still very impacted by her departure. Such a wonderful soul. Someone who didn’t how to say no. She will be a sweet inspiration for all. I’ve got very close to her as a friend. We spoke about many things other than work. She was always so supportive and caring. With tears in my eyes I say goodbye to her in the last message. I hope she can feel the love. I wish her pain has been replaced by joy. She will never be forgotten. Love you my dear friend. Make heaven even brighter with your smile. Mario

Agnes was such a wonderful colleague for so many years. Such a professional class act, admired by many. I have many fond memories with you in the early days at CMR. My thoughts are with everyone who knew her and her, she brought so much sass, class and love. We miss you xxx

Agnes was one of the main people in our team that introduced me to CMR and supported me in getting started with my role. She was always so kind, patient and calm. Agnes always put others before herself and was such a helpful conscientious colleague and friend. She will be greatly missed and always in our hearts xxx

Agnes's light is one that will never be forgotten and will never go out. It stays on in the hearts and memories of the people who knew her. Her kindness, patience and warmth could always be felt and she was truly an amazing person to work with. Agnes made me feel so welcomed during my first day's at CMR and continued to be a gem to work with. She was a great colleague and she will be so missed. It was truly a blessing to have known her and my deepest condolences to her family and those who knew her.

I am so sad to be writing this, Agnes was a huge part of our team and will be missed every day. She was so conscientious and a true HR professional, always thinking about the person and not just the process. She was a brilliant role model and her work ethic was outstanding, she would always help with anything that I needed and always made time to answer my questions, even if I’d asked them many times before. She had such an infectious smile and beautiful blue eyes, I always admired how stylish and smart she looked. She was truly loved and respected. Agnes was so brave and dignified throughout her illness, which is exactly what I would have expected from her. My deepest condolences to her family, I am thinking of you all.

Agnes truly was, and always will be, one of a kind. She was kind, warm, funny, and there through everything. Her friendship is something I’ll always be grateful for and forever miss. See you again one day Aggie, I was so lucky to have you xxx

The first time I met Agnes was when she interviewed me at CMR. I took to her instantly, she was naturally warm and friendly and had a way of making you feel at ease. I was convinced she wore contact lenses; I had never seen eyes so blue and it's wonderful to see her resemblance in Aleks. I'm so grateful that you allowed me and Agnes' other CMR colleagues to join you in saying goodbye. I feel privileged to have known Agnes, even for a short while and she will forever be in my thoughts.

Thank you Agnes for the warmth you shared every day through your smile and kindness. It was wonderful to hear about Bruno and how much you loved being with Alex. You will be greatly missed as a key part of CMR, someone who always put herself before others and showed compassion to everyone.
