Dahlaia and I were friends for 40 wonderful years. We met when were both students at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. She was as always a beautiful soul. She was one of my best friends and I called her sister. I know heaven is rejoicing because it received a special Angel on August 4, 2022. I loved her and I know that I will see my friend again someday on the other side. Rest In Peace Dear Sister
