[Flagdu] FW: [Nfbf-l] Sad news

[David Evans]

Dear All,

Donna and I are very sad to hear of Rita's passing.
She was a wonderful lady with a big and giving heart.  She will be missed.
I will think about her every time I look at or pet my wonderful guide dog 
Jack, who is also from Southeast Guide Dog.
The World is now a sadder and lonelyer place without her.

David Evans, NFBF and GD Jack.
