First Congregational UCC - Platteville

Dumelang,

Last Friday night a Botswana Peace Corps volunteer was killed in a car crash near Francistown. She was a stellar volunteer, almost fluent in Setswana and very happy here. She was planning to extend her service for a third year, working with an international NGO, PSI, in Gaborone. She was due to visit home in 10 days. Her family is obviously devastated. Please remember Cathy and her family in your thoughts and prayers. It is shocking and sad to lose a colleague.

I wanted to share with you, not to depress you, but to let you all know how much I love you. Her death has reminded me of the fragility of this life.

love, leah
