RE: THE LIFE OF ANA PEREIRA
DATE: October 31, 2005
It is with regret and deep sorrow that I must inform you that Ana Pereira is no longer with us. She died of natural causes on Sunday October 30th at 9:10pm. She was in the company of family and she will be deeply missed by us all.
Ana Pereira cared about consumers and staff alike, she fought hard to create housing programs, jobs, and help homeless individuals get a key in their hands. Ana would check staff and consumers to make certain they bathed and ate properly. She even did that to Board members, elected officials, and even perfect strangers in the street.
During the course of this week, we will be paying respects to her memory, as well as continuing her legacy of tireless work. Today we will reminisce and celebrate the life of Ana Pereira. At 2:30PM we invite all staff to join us once again in the conference room, in the company of Board members, consumers, and others dear and close to the heart of Ana Pereira.
Please remember, throughout this time of sorrow, we should reflect on Ana�s work, her dreams, her love of bright colors, and her efforts to better our City, feed the hungry and establish a community of healing.
