Hi everyone,

I wanted to let some of you know that my mom passed away on Tuesday, June
23, 2009 between 2 A.M. and 3 A.M. in my sister's home in Kerens, Texas. I
will be leaving on Wednesday evening June 24, 2009 heading to Dallas to meet
my sister. From there I will be at either her house or we will head to
Shreveport, Louisiana for visitation and burial services. The visitation is
scheduled for June 26, 2009 from 5 to 8 P.M. at Rose Neath Funeral Home and
the funeral service is on Saturday June 27, 2009 at 1 P.M. She will be
buried at Centuries Memorial Cemetery where my dad was buried back in April
1976. I will be back in Cincinnati, Ohio late Monday evening June 29 and
work for 2 days and be on the bus on July 2 heading to Detroit, Michigan
with everyone who is going to the convention. I know this will give a boost
for sure.

I lost my dad when I was 13 and now my mom at 46.
Keep my family in prayer. I have 1 brother and 1 sister in our family.
My mom was 77 years old who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and probably
cancer. The type of cancer she had is unknown at this time. I am thankful
that she is in peace with no more pain to deal with. I have already called
Dr. Maurer and Joanne Wilson in reference to this death. My mom was a
faithful reader of the Braille Monitor. She collected many recipes published
there. She loved Elvis Presley and Willie Nelson. She also liked Cajun music
which was the type of music I grew up with while attending Louisiana School
for the Visually Impaired. That was many years ago. My mom made sure that I
had a good education at the school for the blind. I am thankful that I
learned Braille and also developed independent living skills over several
years. I also thank Joanne Wilson for being my mentor while I was attending
Louisiana Center for the Blind during 1994-1995.

Take care and have a great day.

Sincerely,



Lisa Hall, Braille Proofreader
