A somber note at the food-sharing
The Wednesday evening food-sharing is usually a happy* picnic in the park, with lots of good talk, laughs and -- of course -- great food.But last night there was a somber note, as word spread that one of the regulars had been killed by a drunk driver.
We all knew him as Stacey, but it turns out his real name was Keith Hess. He was riding his bike when a drunk driver plowed into him from behind and ran him over.
Read the Orlando Sentinel report here.
This morning I sadly added his name to the list of people to be remembered on Homeless Persons' Memorial Day.

* It's been a pleasant, tension-free event since the city has been prohibited from enforcing its ordinance restricting the food-sharings. A federal judge ruled the ordinance violated people's constitutional rights. We're still waiting for a decision from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Keith Hess wad my first cousin. His mother has planned a proper funeral and burial for him to be held on Saturday, June 12, 2010 at Little Rock Baptist Church, Forest Mississippi at 11:00 am. My family thanks you for your concern and for caring for him.
Sincerely
Paulette Butler-Mitchell
I'm so sorry for your loss. Please know that many people in Orlando knew and cared about your cousin.
We spoke of him again at this week's food-sharing, exchanging stories about him.
