Tressie Shavers

  In my last post I briefly mentioned a medical emergency that took place at the Maryland Special Olympics in June. Tressie Shavers experienced a medical emergency, and later passed away at Saint Joseph Hospital right before Robb was going to swim. This tragedy was kept very quiet, as the family does not want to bring a lot of attention to it, but right now money is being raised to help Mrs. Shaver's mother who relied heavily on her. Mrs. Shavers was able to live a full life despite having mobility problems, and she died doing something she loved making her a role model to me and many others and proving a good end to a worthwhile life.
