[Nfbf-l] Passing of Johnnie Slayton

[Sherri]

This is why life is precious and why we can't take a second for granted. I 
feel the same way Jim. I will miss her. I am so grateful she was part of our 
NFB family.

Oh my goodness, this is so sad and such a blow to my heart that it is
difficult to grasp.  I sit here and I don't want to believe it but in my
heart I know it is true.  At this point I simply can't accept it.  My Lord,
how could it have been time for her to be called home?  It seems like she
had so much more work to do here.

Thanks,
Jim

 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.

Lenora J. Marten, President
Florida Organization of Parents of Blind Children
Secretary, NFB-FL
