My condolences; keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers!
To the Family, I was saddened to hear of her passing. LaShanta and I worked together at the State Department in D.C. LaShanta was professional, fashionable, funny, and upbeat. May God comfort your hearts during this sorrowful time. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7 Peace & Blessings, Sheila DeVeaux
