I awoke in the middle of the night thinking of Vada. We lost contact a few years ago after a long friendship. Her phone got disconnected and I had no way of contacting her. I wanted to tell you that she was a lovely person and that we shared a sweet bond through our mutual friend, Margit. She is missed.
