[Vision2020] Condolences to Donovan

[Tom Hansen]

Visionaires -

 

I second and strongly support those comments echoed by Ms. Linda Pall.

 

Although Donovan Arnold and I have rarely (if at all ever) found common
ground, I am certain that we would both whole heartedly agree that "family"
is a common constant that we all share regardless of our personal
convictions.  For that reason my sympathies go out to him and his family for
their, and Moscow's, loss.

 

Family - above all else.

 

Most sincerely,

 

Tom Hansen

 

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.

Subject: [Vision2020] Condolences to Donovan 

 

Dear Visionaries,

 

As many of you may know, Donovan Arnold has suffered a great loss this week.

 

His grandmother, Doris Connelly, passed away Tuesday and her funeral was
today, Friday. Mrs. Connelly was the wife of the founder of Tri State on the
Pullman Road and on her husband's untimely death, was forced to step in, run
the business and take care of her large family besides. She was a great
advocate for people with developmental disabilities at a time when most of
the rest of the world would rather have (and tried to!) forget them or shut
them away. Stepping Stones, Inc., grew out of her efforts.

 

Donovan and Moscow have both lost a great role model and citizen.

 

Linda Pall
