In Mourning of a huge loss...

Earlier today, I received a huge shock. My former Domasi College student and good friend Gillo Moyo (pictured at left with her her family and husband Mac) passed away of Malaria on May 26. Mac wrote in an e-mail that she was only sick for 4 days. I can say no more than to express my extreme sorrow at how much the world will miss this amazing person as a beloved teacher, mother, auntie, sister, daughter, and friend. She was only 42, and was taking care not only of her children, but some nieces and nephews as well. Many people relied on her for love and support, which only multiplies the grief resulting from her sudden departure from this Earth.

This posting is in memory of Gillo, who graciously and generously invited Deliwe and me into her home just more than a year ago. I cannot believe she really is gone from this world.
