Still Not Ready to Say Goodbye...

Yesterday a very wonderful person passed away, my colleague, friend, Sophia.
I haven't felt like blogging the past couple of days. I am so sad, her death did hit me hard...still not ready to say goodbye.
I feel numb and not really be able to react at all. I can't believe this has happened.
She was a really nice, kind, caring, loving  person who could always make people laugh, always smiling around and willing to go the extreme mile to help you.
The whole office is still in a state of shock, even big, tough guys cried and still shed a few tears today.

I love you, Sophia. I truly miss you so much.
Rest in peace...
