I am sending this message out to my Greater Orlando Chapter members and to the nFBF-l list, because many of our lives were touched by this person and those of us affected by this loss could use your prayers and support.

On Monday evening, January 12, while bowling on her Monday night league, Carol Knight, a volunteer and friend in our blind bowling league had a stroke and passed away before she could reach the hospital. Several members of the Greater Orlando Chapter who are also on our bowling team were there at the time. I cannot say enough kind words about Carol. She was a feisty lady with a huge heart who kept things running shipshape on our bowling league. She has been there since its inception seven years ago. She kept our treasury, organized many fund-raising events, was encouraging to all us bowlers to always do better, but most of all, she was my coach and mentor in bowling and above all, my friend. I will so much miss her cheerful personality and her kindness. This is a very sad occasion for many of us in the Greater Orlando Chapter of the NFBF. She will be missed tremendously. Thank you for indulging me in sending this message out.
