Some of you may remember Rod Whelan, late chapter member and Treasurer of our chapter. Rod passed in January 2020, leaving behind his wife of over 70 years and his children. Sadly, Mary passed away last night. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy Hollo, our chapter member, on the passing of her mother, Mary. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I still remember asking Mary how she and Rod managed to stay together when they celebrated their 72<sup>nd</sup> anniversary and she told me “never go to bed angry with each other”, because there were times she wanted to smack him with a frying pan! Although Mary spent the last couple of years in a nursing home, I got glimpses of her life through Nancy. She was a kind and sweet lady. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please let us all keep the family in our thoughts and prayers. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sincerely, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Camille Tate <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>2<sup>nd</sup> Vice President, National Federation of the Blind of Florida <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>President, Melbourne Space Coast Chapter, National Federation of the Blind of Florida <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phone: 321 372 4899 <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
