[Ohio-Talk] Thank You!

[Barbara Pierce]

Dear Suzanne,

I have not called because I think you need to rest. Please listen to your own advice and rest. You continue in our prayers, but you have to do your part and allow your body to heal.

Lovingly,
Barbara
Barbara Pierce, President Emerita
National Federation of the Blind of Ohio

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
