I was so sorry to hear about the passing of my dear friend, once girl friend, Wanda Lofton. I am so sad that I missed the annoncement of her passing and the opportunity to share in the celebration of her life. Though I didn't see her often, the thought of not seeing her again in this life is troublesome for its permanency. Nevertheless, I look forward to seeing her again should we meet in the hereafter. Rest in Peace Wanda!
