This post is a heartfelt tribute to an energetic friend of LXG Exclusive who sadly passed away on the 19th of October, Winnie Lorraine Maroga ... Born 09 June 1989 .. Died: 19 October 2009 ...
I personally met Winnie when i was working one of my bouncer shifts at Rhodes Campus on one Friday night. She was this little ball of energy that kept asking questions non-stop and just wouldn't stop ... I thought she was quite a nag at the time until i met her again outside the Cory Flat during intervarsity, in her tiny overalls, quite excited to be part of all the excitement that was going on. We chatted for a bit until she had to run and she said ''wow, you're actually a nice person when you're not working, who would've thought?'', smiled and walked away ... I just thought, ''wow, ok, interesting . .. :) ''
From there on, she showed up almost every other weekend at The Cory Flat and we would talk a lot, listen to Beyonce (yes, of all people, I was made to listen to Beyonce) and look for cool music videos. LXG Exclusive came to life and i invited her to attend, after a long struggle with her shy approach to meeting unfamiliar new people. She met the gentlemen at LXG Exclusive, met the wider circle and became a part of what it was .. She became that little girl we all couldn't stop smiling about each time we talked about or with her .. She was literally that little person with too much energy in her, someone you just had to love because that's all she inspired ... And i know i speak for all who met her and held her in high regard when i express sad loss in knowing that we will only have her in our hearts from here on ...
All of LXG Exclusive is moved at your passing Winz', it's impossible to express in words how much, but we will miss you ... May you rest in desired peace and smile each time you think of us, coz that's all we've been doing as we remembered the days we spent with you ...
