In conclusion, the remembrance ceremony successfully fostered a sense of community, reflection, and solidarity among members. The event had in attendance members from various Sets, particularly members of the 1983 Set who showed massive solidarity and love for one of their own.
At this juncture, the National Executive Committee express our deepest appreciation to all who attended, supported, and contributed to making the program a meaningful one.
