"Keshawn -- I just learned of Kamesha's death due to some insurance company paperwork. I am so sorry for your loss. I was Kamesha's insurance agent while she lived in Des Moines. I remember her fondly as a real life force with a zest for life, love of you and so intelligent and following her educational and professional goals. I was very pained to learn of your loss. I admired her greatly during the time I knew her. Janet Piller, Urbandale, IA"
