My deepest sympathy to the Alexander Family. No matter how much we love another person, we cannot prevent " time and unforeseen occurrence" from befalling those we love. May the God of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, comfort you doing your time of grief. Throw your burden upon God, and he himself will sustain you. Again, I am sorry for your sudden loss.

We have been deeply sad over the sudden loss of yet another neighbor. Jim was a always a very kind and caring man. We know he will be dearly missed by his family and at St. Joan's, but North Broad Street will never be the same to us without "pap-pap". Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this time of sorrow.

My family and I were shocked and saddened to here of Joe's passing. The SJA Fish Fry will not be the same! My dad wished he could have paid his respects in person, but he was unable. Our condolences to Gerry and the family.

Gerry and Family,
My prayers and condolences go out to you on the loss of Joe. I have many fond memories of our time at Royal. The lunchtime card games, the laughs and how Joe always had that special glint of humor in his eye! May the memories of good times shared with him comfort you all now during this difficult time. God Bless You and may Joe be welcomed HOME by all who have loved and gone before him. Love, Heidi

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
