[Arizona-students] Sad News

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Allison,

Thank you for notifying all of us in the NFBA and NFB families about
this sad news. E.R. was indeed an energetic young Federationist and he
will be greatly missed. I regret that I was unable to get to know him
better and that I could not offer support in person to him and his
family and friends while he was ill. While I no longer have authority
over AABS expenditures, I would recommend that AABS or NFBA send
flowers and/or a card to his family. I would be happy to assist with
logistics, if needed.
