[Nfbf-l] Passing of Johnnie Slayton

[BROOKE6358 at aol.com]

This is stunning news!  Johnnie Slayton was,  for me, the voice which 
imparted reason and encouragement during our NFBF  DB Division conference call 
meetings.  NFB was blessed by the life of Dr.  Johnnie Slayton.  
Peace be unto them who love this kindly  soul.

This is  truly shocking and tragic news. I thought so highly of Johnnie and
she was  doing terrific things with the Tallahassee Chapter. This is a
perfect  example of we just do not know when we will be called home. I shall
miss  Johnnie big time. 

My sincerest sympathies go out to Johnnie's family  and friends.

So sorry to  hear this.   I will keep the family and friends in prayer!!   

I met her briefly when at the state convention, she was a very nice  woman!

May she rest in peace!

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
