Good Coverage of Student TragedyTo the editors:
I was reading The Crimson's article on the beloved Shira Palmer-Sherman (News, Dec. 22). Shira's death has been a shock to the Horace Mann Community and we are all deeply saddened by this loss. Her sister is a member of Horace Mann and we are all grieving Miriam's loss. I know I can't even begin to imagine what she is going through.
Shira was an intelligent, talented and kind human being, and such a travesty makes me wonder why life can be so cruel. I want to thank the Harvard community for being such a supportive place in a time of tragedy, and I ask that Shira and her family be included in your prayers.
I also want to thank The Crimson staff for providing information about the death which was not available in New York. The Horace Mann Community was led to believe by an unknowing parent that Shira had passed away before the 18th and it was The Crimson that shed light on the difficult situation.
