>>> Dear FOCB Family,
>>> I am so very sorry to tell you that our beloved Brooke Evans passed away this morning at 4:30 AM. She had been fighting 3 types of cancer for over a year and was in remission but contracted several infections that her body was too weak to fight off.
>>> Brooke will always be remembered for her kind and generous heart and her advocacy work on behalf of the Deaf/blind community. She was a FOCB Board Member and organized the Support Group and annual symposium for individuals with vision and hearing loss. Brooke also helped organize the National Federation of the Blind of Florida State Convention and was honored as a Woman of the Movement and awarded Member of the Year by the Palm Beach Chapter.
>>> We will miss Brooke very much and our prayers are with her husband, Al, and family.

>>> Carolyn Lapp
