[nfb-talk] Tragedy in Denver

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

    Mary and I wish to express our condolences to David's family and those 
effected by this accident. We're curious to know if the car was a hybrid or 
a conventional vehicle.? We know what it's like to lose loved ones during 
the holiday season. We each lost a parent last year. Our sincerest 
condolences and prayers go out to all involved in this unfortunate incident.

Peter and Mary Donahue

I'm in agreement with these posts. I found out about this yesterday,
and I'm still overwhelmed with sorrow. I had just met David at the NFB
convention in Dallas back in July. I'm praying for everyone at the
CCB, and all of his family. Yes, they do need to make those bus stops
safe for everyone. Let's petition congress. Blessings, Joshua
