Sometimes, a person comes along that makes a profound impact on an organization. Crossroads recently celebrated the contributions of an amazing clinical staff member who, over the past 10+ years, has helped shape the agency to what it is today.
Faith Sheehan, LCSW, CCS has meant so much to so many people at Crossroads, from clients to staff members. Faith will no longer be working with Crossroads, and her presence will be missed.
Following is a wonderful ode to Faith, written by our Outpatient Practice Manager, Tree Bendokas-Heinfeld.
Thanks for everything, Faith!
An Ode to the Great Faith Sheehan
It cannot be counted how many times Faith said to us
“Great job” “nice work”
“I’m proud of you”
And while you helped so many of us grow and change Faith,
We loved watching you grow, too.
Also countless are the people
Every name, every face
Families from near and far
You’ve shown so many that hope and healing
Are right there in their hearts.
Because of you some of us found our path
made improvements
claimed our power
others looked to you for life solutions
in a fifty minute hour.
Cruise director, party planner
With a photographic memory for names (just for Barbara!)
Electronics may not be your strong suit
But we love you just the same.
“Thank you” will not do this justice
“Appreciation” can’t describe
What you’ve done for Crossroads,
For all women,
For all those many lives.
And so today, sun shining on our celebration
And the expansive, sparkling Atlantic Ocean
We raise our unending vision of the future to Faith
for what she has shown
Devotion.
