Hello, everyone.
I want to tell you all how much it meant to the family that the
affiliate sent flowers. Her three daughters told me how much fun
she had at our conventions and they appreciated your great
kindness so much. I was told that the flowers were beautiful.
It was a very emotional day for us all and new memories were made
throughout the weekend.
Love and peace to you all.
Karen

I'm so glad Karen was able to attend Shirley's funeral.

It turns out that Karen is able to attend the funeral after all.
A couple of cousins came to Keyser last night and drove her to
Elkins where services are underway right about this time.
I am sure that none of this discussion would have ever made its
way to an NFB list if Shirley had not attended a few of our
national conventions and gotten acquainted with a number of us.
I suppose our families can have very different responses to our
NFB involvement. My dad, for example, never came near a
Federation meeting of any kind. (He was not opposed, but simply
chose not to become involved.) On the other hand--as some of you
will recall--my mother certainly did.
I am grateful that Madaline and Shirley chose to attend a few of
our conventions. In some respects, it became a vacation for
them, and they may not have understood all of the issues we dealt
with. Nevertheless, they got to see a lot of blind people
gathered in one place and doing what we do as a movement, and I
am sure they came away with a better understanding of blindness
than they had in the first place. What's more, they made some
new friends!
Shirley, rest in peace.
Ed

The only thing I can tell you right now is that the funeral will
be held at the Tomblyn Funeral Home in Elkins.
Mom seemed okay this morning when I talked to her. She is
waiting for my cousin to pick her up. They will be traveling to
West Virginia this afternoon.
I told her about the flowers and she was very touched. She
asked me to say thank you and we all appreciate it.
Peace
Karen

Thank you so much, Sheri. I will let you all know when I find
out about the funeral arrangements. She loved our affiliate so
much and she worked so hard selling whatever we had at our
national conventions. She and my mom always had a wonderful time
with us.
Peace

Hello, everyone.
I have some sad news to pass on to all of you. For those of you
who
knew my Aunt Shirley, I want you to know that she passed this
afternoon. She was undergoing kidney dialysis three times a
week
for the last couple of years and I guess it was just too much
for
her. She had been in the hospital in Morgantown and she was
brought
home on Sunday to a nursing home. That's all I know right now
but I thought you all would want to know.
Peace
Karen
