Terri and family,
Patty and I wanted to send our condolences to you your family. We are sorry that we are unable to be there to celebrate Jims life. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. He fought and won his first battle that allowed him to see his children grow up and his grand children play. He taught us how precious life was because you never know. He never let anything, including CANCER, tell him how to live. He lived his life and loved it. Most of all, he loved spending his life with all of you. He's at peace now, finally!

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.
