[il-talk] Carmen

[Charlie Dennis]

Many moons ago, at a national convention fund-raiser, someone said: "give 
til it hurts," then someone else said: "give til it stops hurting." Carmen 
achieved the second goal tonight. Life support was removed at 9:53pm; her 
heart officially stopped 62 minutes later. Our daughter Penny will let me 
know about Joliet funeral arrangements probably late tomorrow; I'll pass 
them on as soon as I can. Thank you all so much for your support.
Charlie

Kristy Dennis just called me.  I am very sorry to report that she and her
family indicate that Carmen is not improving.  The family will be
withdrawing life support soon after all family members have arrived.

She asked me to create a list of people who would plan to attend services in
Joliet.  Please e-mail me off list if you would be attending.

Our love and prayers go out to Carmen and her entire family.

P.S.  National Federation of the Blind of Illinois is now on twitter at
