[Blindtlk] Passing of Seville Allen

[Graves, Diane]

This is sad news indeed. Though it's been years since I have seen her, I knew Seville. I remember such a happy, friendly, outgoing person, who made me feel right at home at a leadership seminar years ago. . I did not realize that she had been ill.

This is a huge loss to the blindness community and to the federation. I know she touched countless lives.

Friends,

It is with unimaginable sadness that I inform you of the passing of Seville
Allen.  Seville has been ill for some time and this afternoon she passed
away.  I had the great privilege to spend some time with her yesterday
afternoon.  While ill and very weak, Seville was engaged and the fighter we
all knew.

As soon as I have details about funeral arrangements, I will pass that
along.  In the meantime, please join me in grieving the passing of a true
leader, mentor, leader and friend.

Fred Schroeder
