[IL-Talk] IL-Talk Digest, Vol 234, Issue 19

Good afternoon everyone (NOT),

Gina as a great freind and she will be badly missed. I have been saying prayers daily for her for many years. She was a wonderful and overly caring indivual.


P.S. Text the word BLIND to 85944 to donate $10 to the NFB Imagination Fund via your phone bill.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

This is very sad news indeed! Gina was a member of our Chicago Chapter for
many years. She was an avid knitter, and she often contributed her creations
to our chapter auction. She fought cancer for years, always determined and
optimistic. Her passing is truly a loss to our community.

It is indeed very sad about Gina. She had time for everyone and she was
especially conscious of the suffering of others. For years, she greeted me
at every chapter meeting when she saw me. She always asked about Teresa and
she always made it a point to let me know that Teresa and I were in her
prayers. She actually sounded quite strong during the September chapter
meeting.

  Hello Illinois Federation Family,

  I am greatly saddened and shocked to hear of Gina's death.  I knew she was
battling cancer again, but I didn't know it was so very serious right now.
Gina was wonderful for the Illinois Affiliate and , I hope, we have been

great for her.  
Love, Cathy Randall

Greetings Federationist,

It is with deep sadness to report the passing of a member of our NFBI 

family. Gina Falvo Gina was at one point a board member of our Chicago 
Chapter and served as our state membership chair. Gina had a welcoming 
personality that would bring smiles to all who interacted with her.

Please keep members of Gina's family in your thoughts and prayers 
through this tough time. Service arrangements will be posted soon.

Wow, another shock in not many days. Gina was still fairly young, but she
had struggled with health over the years. Despite that, she always was
steadfast taking care of her elderly mom, and yet gave of herself to our

chapter for many years. I'll miss Gina, and pray for her family.

Hi guys, if anyone is interested in going to Gina's wake, Sunday, at the

same time, I'll share my plans (othewise, you may still find useful the
links and info below for planning your own trip via public transit).

I was already thinking of coming to the city for the Lighthouse's Rise to
Shine walk/run, so I'll come in the morning and head out to Chicago Heights
in the early afternoon (unless i learn that there's a more set time for
visitation).

I plan to take the Metra Electric
https://schedules.metrarail.com/pdf/alternative/ME.pdf
[FYI, this is odd compared to other Metra schedules--the weekend table
mashes Saturday and Sunday together with every column header saying if it's
Saturday, Sunday or both days, and then, since the table is very wide, the
trips after about 8pm are in a leftover table on the next page]

12:10pm, I'll leave from Millenium Station (Randolph at Michigan Ave)
1:09 get off at 211th street station (right after Olympia Fields)
211th, Lincoln Highway 30, and 14th Street are all the same street.

>From 211th street Metra, I want Pace bus 357 (which stops in the station

grounds)
https://www.pacebus.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/PaceRt357_20221110.pdf
Pace 357 goes straight east on 14th Street.
The funeral home is near the end of the block that is sandwiched between

Fairview Avenue followed by Division Street.
Panozzo Bros. 530 W. 14th St. Chicago Heights, IL 60411

Also, for the return trip, there's a 357 westbound bus stop on the opposite
(northeast) corner of Division and 211th (Hwy 30 or 14th st.)
