[Nfbf-l] Passing of Johnnie Slayton

[BROOKE6358 at aol.com]

This is stunning news.  Johnnie  Slayton was, for me, a voice of reason and 
encouragement during the NFBF DB  Division conference call meetings. NFB 
was blessed by Dr. Johnnie Slayton.   Peace be unto her family and friends.

Johnnie  Slayton was a true advocate of "Changing What It Means  To Be  
Blind"
In recent months, Johnnie
had expressed a strong interest and  support of the Deaf-Blind
Divisions...both nationally and in the  State
of Florida.    We have lost a great leader.     May Johnnie's family, 
friends
and those she served find comfort in 
the  life she lived and the wisdom she shared with each of us.  
Johnnie,  rest in peace and know how much you will be missed

Hello everyone,

I am extremely saddened to report to  you of the passing of one of our great
leaders, Johnnie Slayton. I don't  have a lot of details yet, but she passed
away early this morning due to  complications from a blood clot. 

My deepest condolences go out to  Johnnie's family and the Tallahassee
Chapter. She was by far, one of the  most incredible people I've ever had 
the
pleasure of meeting. She will be  greatly missed. 

I've spoken with Sylvia Young, Tallahassee Chapter  secretary and her
information is below should you need to contact her  directly.
I will be posting further information as it becomes available  concerning
services. 

Sylvia  Young
