I think it's a great idea and would be happy to contribute.
How should we go about organizing this?
Good question Amanda - should we take a community poll regarding public and/or private condolence? Further, if public, find out what the local media/newspaper is, cost, etc., and if members are willing to contribute, etc. I feel this could become a missed opportunity, but we do have some time to figure out, and how to proceed and organize this. I'm glad to do whatever I can in this regard.
