Tragedy Strikes the JAB Community
From Team JAB 
JABBER Heather Schatz wrote in to tell us about her colleague, Celia, known around the office for her sunny disposition and love of life, who was left widowed with a one-year-old daughter. Celia's husband Jean was waiting to get on a bus to go to work when he was hit and killed by an SUV fleeing the scene of an earlier crash. Read the tragic story HERE. Prior to Jean's tragic death, the family was living with and supporting Celia's mother and her terminally ill father. Celia is now left to support her toddler and parents on just her income alone. To help make these dark days brighter for Celia and her family, Heather and her colleagues have set up a donation page at Best Buddies, a program to which Celia was dedicated. JABBERS can help Celia by clicking HERE. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Celia and her family.
