> It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that Michael Seay, President
> of the Tennessee Affiliate, passed away Friday evening. Michael has been
> here with me and with Carlos here at the Louisiana Center for the Blind
> since we first arrived. Michael was a wonderful, funny and deeply caring
> person. Only last weekend I traveled to and from the National Center with
> Anil Louis, Pam Allen and Mike to attend the state presidents seminar. The
> four of us so enjoyed the seminar and the fun times we had traveling
> together. Michael was also on my team the preceding weekend in New Orleans
> when we all participated in Mardi Gras. I simply can't take it in that
> Michael is gone and we are all in shock here in Ruston. He loved life and
> always kept us laughing. Moreover he was a dedicated leader in the 
> National
> Federation of the Blind. We have lost a wonderful leader, man and friend.
>
> Please keep his family and the rest of us who are grieving in prayer.
> Michael, you are in a better place but I know you didn't have a clew that
> you would be leaving us so soon.
