This news is so heartbreaking! We were all so excited to reconnect with Sister Alexandrine. I am so glad that we were able to spend so much time with her and certainly thought we would have much more time in the future. She was such a beautiful person, inside and out. As many other people have said in these comments, she had such a positive influence on our lives at such a formative time. We will miss her.

Sr. Alexandrine was among the most influential women of my youth. She taught me that integrity is necessary for a peaceful soul. What a joy it was for the last SMA 50th reunion class to reconnect with this amazing woman.
You will be missed but never forgotten.

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 mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
