A Very Sad Announcement

I am deeply saddened to be bearer of bad news. A brilliant mind and an indispensable colleague, has passed away. In an announcement via the Acute PT and the CardioPT Listservs, I am informed of the passing of Rebecca (Becky) White, PT CCS. She struggled for years with Eisenmenger' s syndrome and was waiting for a heart-lung transplant in Pittsburgh when she died.

A very respected, astute and eloquent lady, Ms. White was a cardio-respiratory specialist physical therapist at the University of Michigan. Some years back, I had the opportunity to interact with her briefly and I came away with a really positive impression of a colleague in advanced PT practice.

I am posting a link to her obituary here: http://www.legacy.com/ToledoBlade/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=111162297

And a Link to the Toledo Blade GuestBook: (Will remain open and available online upto July 8, 2008): http://www.legacy.com/ToledoBlade/GB/GuestbookView.aspx?PersonId=111162297

Becky will be greatly missed by the PT community in general and those who had a chance to interact with her. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Sincerely,

AcutePT
