Each week, this little item notes various comings and goings, but today we would like to stop to acknowledge a very untimely departure. Kim Cayz, a member of the public relations team at Hoffmann-La Roche, passed away last week of a brain tumor. She was just 39 years old. A smart and classy person, Kim was always helpful and straightforward. We know her colleagues are quite upset and hope that she left many good memories.
