)From the Publisher: It is times like these that makes my news service
emotionally difficult. I feel the need to get the news out to my many
readers in a timely fashion with as much accuracy as possible. So
therefore, I must read certain headline stories many different times
because of varying points of views. It has been difficult reading over
and over the different twist and turns around The Betty Shabazz tragedy
and now of her passing. The spiritual side of me now is relieved with her
joining Malcolm and being at *peace*. Her days of suffering and
struggling are now over. What is troubling is the fact that her daughters
have now loss both their parents, and that her grandson will be marred
with this for life. No matter how much work I am planning on getting
done, my mind travels out to the Shabazz women and to the strength and
courage they must poccess to move through all of this and move on with
their lives. I also feel the moments when they are alone and must deal
with the great hurt, loss and pain from within.

Our words, prayers, and thoughts of support are vitally important now. No
matter how or what you are feeling about the grandson's role in all of
this, they need our love and support now.

Please extend it.... You can send your comments and feelings of support to
the news service (for posting) and collectively we will be there for them,
as a loving and caring community.

Thank you...
