[NFBWATlk] Passing of Joy Harris

[Bennett Prows]

Thank you, Marci for sharing this. AS President Riccobono has said, both Joy and Allan have contributed mightily to our organization and the blind community. My prayers and thoughts are with Allan and the family and know that Joy will be missed very much.
