WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Karl Rove was nearly overcome with emotion Friday as colleagues privately paid tribute to the political adviser as he leaves the White House, senior officials say.

At the closed-door senior staff meeting at 7:30 a.m. in the Roosevelt Room, Rove was surprised with a slide show of photos chronicling his nearly seven years at President Bush's side, through good times and bad.

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow told CNN that Rove was so touched by the tribute that he didn't have any final words for his colleagues. "He was pretty choked up," Snow said.

Although he didn't speak, Rove left farewell notes on the conference table for each senior aide, thanking them for their friendship.

Aides were not planning to throw a farewell party, typically held at Blair House across the street, because Rove and his wife were heading out of town in the afternoon for a vacation. Senior White House aides were planning to see the couple off on West Executive Drive in one last tribute.

Snow said that Rove's wife laid down the law and said the longtime political adviser had to get out of the office early. "Otherwise he'd be leaving at midnight," Snow said with a smile.

3. Wow. I put together a presentation for Janet Reno on her retirement

Not a word about Waco or Ruby Ridge in the dossier, but I got to work on those cases later on. I can't divulge any state secrets, but let your imaginations run wild and that's what actually happened.

Hillary Bush is the WH? No, I don't think so. Sorry friends.
