and Messages

 

Dear Federation Family and Friends,

As many of you know, our dear friend and longtime Federationist Barbara Loos
was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last January, which has since spread to
her liver. Barbara has now stopped chemotherapy treatments and is spending
this time surrounded by those she loves.

For more than half a century, Barbara has been an important part of the
National Federation of the Blind and has touched the lives of countless
people along the way. We would like to give some of that love back to her by
creating a collection of recorded memories and messages from the many people
whose lives she has touched.

We are calling this project "With Love for Barbara: Memories and Messages."

We invite you to record a message of approximately three minutes or less for
Barbara. You might share a favorite memory, a funny story, something Barbara
has taught you, what her friendship has meant to you, or simply a personal
message you would like her to hear.

Please begin your recording by saying your name so Barbara and her family
will know who is speaking.

You can participate in either of the following ways:

Record your message using the Voice Memos app on your iPhone or another
recording method and email the recording to info at ne.nfb.org
<mailto:info at ne.nfb.org> .

Or, call 402-477-7711 and leave your message as a voicemail.

Please submit your recording no later than October 5.

Our hope is to bring these recordings together into a special collection
that Barbara, her husband Brad, and their family can listen to and enjoy.
Most importantly, we want Barbara to hear from the people whose lives she
has touched and to know just how deeply she is loved.

Please share this message far and wide with Federation members, former
members, friends, and anyone else who has known Barbara over the years. We
hope to include as many voices as possible.

Thank you for helping us surround Barbara and her family with memories,
friendship, and love.

 

Sincerely,

Jamie K. Richey, President

National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska
