font-family:Arial'>Local Theater Artist & costume designer Naima Hadden passed
away last night at 9:45pm. Naima’s work was best known on the
stages of Beck Center, Great Lakes Theater Festival and Lyric Opera Cleveland
to name a few.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>She walked into the hospital a couple weeks ago with a
partial bowel obstruction and managed to catch meningitis and MRSA, from which
she never recovered. She had no health insurance, life insurance or death
insurance and her mother, who obviously has enough to worry about, is wondering
how she's going to pay for this stuff. I’m hoping the local theater
community can help.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>There has been a link created by Naima’s friends so
that we can help Na's family through this especially difficult time. It's
so ridiculous to have to worry about stupid money at a time like this. I
mean, can't we just be sad for awhile and not worry about how to finance a damn
funeral? But, as you all know, that's not the kind of world we live
in. So I look to you, dear readers, to help as best you can. Please
feel free to forward this. Thank you all.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
