She is the person who I respect so much. She is the person who is closest to me in this country.

 My Beloved Advisor Dr. Janice A. Lumpkin passed away on Oct.21, 1997 because of brain hemorrhage. She just gave birth to her fouth child less than two weeks ago! She was a great mother, a great advisor. Her death was a big shock for me, a great loss for all the people who loved her. It is still so difficult for me to realize that she was gone forever. Whenever i think of her, she is together with her four children, her dear husband and with me. I tried to ask god: Why, why her? Why took away a person who everybody loved? Maybe it's god's will. May god take good care of her in the heaven.
