It is with a very heavy heart that we must tell you that our beloved Art Bookbinder passed away today. Art will be dearly missed by all of us at Lighthouse of Collier. From the origin of the Lighthouse of Collier in 2009, he was a friend, coach, cheerleader, & financial supporter. One of our board members said it best. “He was a blind man that taught us how to see”…
There will be a Celebration of Life service in Naples at a later date.
More information will follow as soon as it is available.
Mary is a still-young woman who suffered strokes at an even younger age. She developed vision, speech, and mobility issues as a result. Mary does not let this deter her. Her determination makes those around her want to be and live better. Prior to the pandemic, Mary attended the recreation and leisure classes regularly at the Lighthouse, and in recent months has been participating virtually.
Over time, Mary’s speech has improved significantly to where she can verbally participate in activities such as the video conference groups and classes. Mary works hard at improving her abilities and it shows.
