Subject: [nabs-l] our gratitude for your thoughts and prayers

    Greetings:

Those of us at CCB and in the NFB Colorado community want to express our
great gratitude for the tremendous show of love and support from throughout
the nation.  I am sorry that  neither I nor Julie Deden can respond directly
to all the messages directed personally to us.  There are just too many.
Regardless, your love and support have significantly helped us deal with
this tragedy.  

As many of you know, the student who passed away is David Nanney who came to
the Center from Baltimore.  His wife and family have been dealing with this
as strongly and courageously as any could imagine.  They have expressed how
much the Center meant to David and that they will be grateful for the
independence it gave him.  We will be having a memorial for David  when our
students return in January.  

The other two students are both in stable condition and still in the
hospital.  Their injuries are serious in that both suffered several broken
bones.  They will require varying levels of rehab and surgery.  However,
both are expected to recover fully.

Again, we want to thank you for the tremendous kindness and love you have
offered.  We will, of course, keep you informed as the information warrants.
We have had  quite a few losses in the NFB community this year, Ray McGeorge
earlier this year and Priscilla Mckinnelly just recently, to name just a
few.  The spirit of all who have passed lives strongly within  us, though.
As we look forward to 2011, let us not forget that spirit and continue to
work harder than ever before to make tomorrow a better day for the blind of
our nation.  From all of here in Colorado, we wish you the best of this
holiday season and may peace be with us all.
God bless,
Scott
