28 April 2013 It is with great sadness that the PTT Division learnt of the passing of Margita Homolova on Friday. Margita has long been a member of the PTT family arising out of her work with the Slovak Paralympic Committee. She has been a classifier, secretary to the tournament committee, technical delegate as well as part of the team management for the SPC. There is no doubt that her heart has always been with PTT and the disabled in general and that she committed a large part of her life to this service.

Margita has been suffering from cancer for several years but she kept fighting till the end. Many would have seen that she was a TD in 2012 and she was scheduled to be one in 2013. This epitomises Margita, her commitment and her spirit.

We convey our deepest condolences to her daughter and family as well as to the Slovak Paralympic Committee and Slovak Table Tennis Association.

She will be missed.
