Life is short–Live it For God!
April 29th, 2008 by Davona
This morning one of my staff was on the phone and when she got off, she said "Davona, Asha died." We have a nanny who is Asha, so I asked "Asha, who?" Turns out it was the Regional Social Welfare Officer that I work with! She was getting ready for work this morning and dropped dead–a stroke most likely as she suffered from high blood pressure. She was about in her mid-50's.
Not only are we sad about her death, but this will slow things down MORE for adoptions in this area. We hope that a replacement is found quickly and that it is a person who has a real heart for the best interest of the children.
So sad to hear of Asha’s passing.
She showed compassion to us when we first met Jacob Bahati – while there were procedures to follow, she was wise enough to see that we had bonded as a family and did her very best to help us so that we would not need to be apart while paperwork was completed.
Rest in peace Asha – you will always have a special place in our family’s hearts.
