#GivingTuesday is a once a year, global day of generosity, but NVRC needs your support year-round!

Thank you to everyone who came to NVRC on Sunday afternoon for Cheryl's memorial service.  Over 80 friends and family members filled our meeting room, and over 30 people joined us on Zoom! Speakers included members of Cheryl's immediate family, and many recollections (and some humor!) from her husband, Fred. Staff also shared their memories, as did several other friends who came from far and wide.  Just before the service started, a random FB message appeared on a friend's phone.  "Spread love wherever you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier."  On Sunday, the room was filled with that love.

Donations in Cheryl's memory may be made to the Northern Virginia Resource Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Persons (NVRC).
