Friends of Shira Palmer-Sherman '02, who was critically injured in a car accident Sunday, gathered yesterday to comfort each other and talk about their classmate and friend.
Palmer-Sherman remains in the intensive care unit of Mount Auburn Hospital, where she was taken after being hit by a car on Eliot Street outside of Charlie's Kitchen.
While hospital officials would not comment on Palmer-Sherman's condition, Rabbi Shai Held referred to her as "clinically brain dead" in an e-mail sent yesterday morning offering comfort to the Hillel community.
Cambridge Police Department (CPD) officers arrested the driver who was at the scene on an outstanding warrant.
The Pforzheimer House resident and native of Englewood, N.J., is a graduate of Horace Mann High School in Riverdale, N.Y., where she was active in the school's drama department.
Paul A. Gusmorino '02, who attended Horace Mann with Palmer-Sherman, said he has fond memories of performing with her in the school's production of "Guys and Dolls."
He called her "a very loving person" who brings passion and thoughtfulness to everything she does.
Palmer-Sherman has continued to pursue her interest in theater at Harvard, involving herself in multiple facets of numerous productions.
