Some readers already know of this. I was hesitant to alert all of you because publicizing obituaries or funerals in particular can end up, as I have witnessed, as instruments of distraction from the rendering of a person's life and character. But among people I know more than in an incidental way who have had an impact on the political world, from great to small, I have published reflections on their lives, which included my father and mother who were on the smaller side in impact. Thus, by that metric I can't exclude Deshae, who served for (basically) two-and-a-half years on the Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council and had very definitive policy preferences about how the state interacts with its people with disabilities -- opinions that have been reflected in posts here from time to time and which I may give a fuller airing in the future here and in other channels -- as well as had other strong political views unrelated to that.
Do not feel sorrow for me. Save that for the fact we have lost such a remarkable person and that the world is poorer for everybody without her among us. The first two links above will tell you why, which I encourage all readers to review.
