[Nfb-river-city] Death of an ally

[Kathleen]

I am sorry to hear of your loss Lisa, but what you have gained from having a 
Dad like yours is invaluable and will tend you well through your life. May 
God bless you and help you through this tame and all time.
Respectfully
Kathey Berman

I am sad to have to tell you that my dad Mark Gorden passed away on January 
18th in his sleep.  As a Davis resident for 25 years, he knew many blind 
people in the Sacramento area.  Besides being the best father who ever could 
have existed, my dad was a true believer in blind people.  Never once did he 
see my blindness as tragic, and he loved being around blind people.  He 
loved the Federation because of its independent spirit, and because the NFB 
is a community of blind people who can come together to share a common 
experience.

A celebration of his life will take place Sunday, January 28th, at 2-00 P.M. 
at the Palms Playhouse on 113 Main Street in Winters.


 Old truths and ancient magic, revolution and invention, all conspire to 
distract us from the passion that in one way or another defeats us all.  And 
weary finally of this complexity, we dream of that long ago time when we sat 
upon our mother's knee and each kiss was the perfect consummation of desire. 
What can we do but reach for the embrace that must now contain both heaven 
and hell.    (Rice, A. O.  The Vampire Lestat, 500)
