I can hear Jacinta saying, " Okay, take a deep breath, hold it a moment and let it out.  Now, relax your eyes, the space behind your eyes.  Now, relax your little toe on both feet.  Feel the tension drain out of your legs.  You can't be nervous if your little toes are relaxed."  This was part of her pep talk as she held the doors open for the Evergreen Singers just before our concert on Sunday.  Jacinta was a spiritual leader here at Evergreen.  It's unbelievable that she is so suddenly gone. Thank you for your unconditional love and support of everyone in your path, Jacinta.  You are sorely missed.

I am sorry to inform you that one of our own, Jacinta McKoy, performing and media arts coordinator, passed away unexpectedly last night.  This comes as a great shock to our community, as we lost one of our most beloved and dedicated colleagues.  Jacinta brought unflappable good humor and tremendous grace to her work.  We will dearly miss her heartfelt commitment to hospitality, indeed she set high standards for the Com Building.
