[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Joyce Kane's death

[Jolene Nemeth]

yes please let us not judge another based on their beliefs. joyce's death
is difficult enough for some to deal with and adding this layer only makes
things feel worse. i believe that if we live our lives as good people then
good will come to all whose lives we touch. true immortality has nothing to
do with living forever but what we do with the time we have.
that is all that should matter at this point. if not for Joyce, this group
would not exist and we would never have all been blessed with knowing her
even if it was for a short time. may she rest in peace.
