<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Federation Family,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> On august 5 I shared that
two members of the tampa bay chapter and the florida
Association of guide Dog Users had contracted COVID-19.
Apparently Les’s wife Mae contracted the virus at an imaging
site where she had gone for a conoloscopy. Her daughter,
Angelique Mitchell, drove her to the appointment since
driving is not recommended after the procedure. Both mae and
Angelique contracted the virus and, in turn, infected Les. Les
told me his symptoms were fairly mild; however, they kept him
in the hospital for two weeks. Mae and Angelique were not as
fortunate and required intubation. I am very sad to share that
Mae Demers lost her battle with the Coronavirus on Friday
afternoon at 1:55 and her daughter, Angelique made her
transition on Saturday at 1:18 p.m. nearly twenty-four hours
after her mom.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> A very sad sequel to this
already miserable story is that, due to the strain of
resources brought on by this pandemic, mae and Angelique must
remain at the hospital morgue for more than two weeks because
all the public morgues and crematoriums have no room to store
the bodies. There is also a shortage of urns, necessitating an
even longer wait for les to collect his wife and daughters
remains and schedule an inurnment in Georgia. Please keep all
of les’s family in your thoughts and prayers that the Universe
eases Les’s pain and allows all of us to find a greater plan
for humanity through all this pain and suffering.<o:p></o:p></p>
