[Colorado-Talk] With Great Sadness

[judydixon at comcast.net]

Curtis,

I offer my sincerest condolences. Here is a poem that I hope will be as meaningful for you as it has been for me.

 

Do not stand at my grave and weep; 

I am not there. I do not sleep. 

I am a thousand winds that blow. 

I am the diamond glints on snow. 

I am the sunlight on ripened grain. 

I am the gentle autumn rain. 

When you awaken in the morning's hush 

I am the swift uplifting rush 

Of quiet birds in circled flight. 

I am the soft stars that shine at night. 

Do not stand at my grave and cry; 

I am not there. I am still with you. 

 

You are in my thoughts!

Judy Dixon, from Boulder

I too send my must heart-felt condolences. Doris was always a beacon of light. I remember her and you attending many autoharp functions that Margaret Bakker held. You both contributed enormously to the music group. Doris always had a song on her lips and a harp in her lap.

 

“May the light of God surround you,

The love of God enfold you;

The power of God protect you,

And the presence of God watch over you.

Wherever you are, God is.”

Hello, I too would like to extend my condolences to Curtis and his family. I was one of her doors’s students while I was attend the Colorado center for the  blind. She was helping me with some academic issues at that time. I realize now they're having her as an instructor without me too I want to do many things and life since then that would not be possible without her assistance. She will be greatly missed.

Hello everyone, with heavy heart, I must report to you that Doris Willoughby passed away this morning.  Details about a service to remember her amazing life will be coming soon.  Please keep Curtis and their family in your thoughts and prayers.  Doris joined the NFB in the early 60’s and has been Curtis’s partner in the Federation all these years.  She was an amazing teacher of blind children, and her work will live on forever.   Her textbook on how to teach blind children is still used widely by all the various training programs.  Doris leaves behind so many contributions to our movement that it is impossible to capture all of them.  Please stay tuned for further details.

 

Warmly,

Scott
