<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Federation Family,<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>
