Nothing to do with the icon: important: in memory of pat price, a great friend

In memory of Pat price

The Accessible World News Wire

February 3, 2009

It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our
beloved friend and Founder, Pat Price.

Pat left us at 7 pm EST on Sunday February 1, 2009. She went into the
hospital early Monday morning, January 26, 2009 suffering from many
debilitating factors. For many years, Pat was able to keep up her
vigorous work schedule although suffering great pain. We send our
sincerest love and friendship to her wonderful husband, Marv. He is
also in the hospital but was by her side when she passed away.

On Monday February 9, 2009, in the Tek Talk Room of
http://www.accessibleworld.org
<http://www.accessibleworld.org/
>, we shall celebrate Pat's beautiful life with our own memorial. We
shall begin promptly at 8 pm Eastern time, 5 pm pacific time.

Our program shall include words from the numerous friends of Pat over
the years. However, we can assure you that any and all present will
have the opportunity to say a few words.

Pat is no longer in pain for she is in a better place, but we shall
miss her terribly.
