[NFBF-L] Very Sad News

[Tekesha Saffold]

I had the pleasure of knowing Brooke for the last 10 years. We were involved in many things together, which we developed a mother and daughter relationship. On the behalf of the Palm Beach chapter, she will be truly missed, which she wore her member of the year medal with pride. Brooke will forever live in my heart and may her spirit Rest In Peace!

Thanks,

Tekesha Saffold
