<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">We are deeply saddened about Shonté White's passing this past Saturday. She was a beloved staff member and dedicated MAB Family Member that helped thousands
of people in our community. She passed after battling an illness over the past few months. Shonté served as a social worker here for more than 18 years. Most recently she was critical in assuring that we participated in this year's Empty Stocking Fund which
helped MAB to assure that over 90 clients in need applied for assistance over the holiday. From the first day with MAB, Shonté was an integral part of the VRS team. She leaves behind a young son, whom she loved very much and a loving family and friends.
She will be greatly missed by many!</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
