[Iabs-talk] Jemal powell and the powell family

[David Meyer]

Dear Fellow Federationists:

I received an email from Jemal Powell yesterday.  AsI am asking that
everyone please reserve a special place in your thoughts and prayers for him
and his entire family in the days ahead.  Those of you who regularly read
IABS and IL-talk messages have likely read about Jemal's mother passing away
yesterday morning.  There are additional difficulties that Jemal and his
family have been dealing with as well.  Within the past six months Jemal's
maternal grandmother passed away after a fairly lengthy illness, and his
paternal Grandmother will be entering hospice care within the next week or
so.



I'm sure that Jemal would very much appreciate any comforting words,
thoughts or deeds you might be able to offer to him and his family.
