I am truly sorry for your loss. It was such a pleasure to work with Catherine in the Manhattan College library. I have not seen her in years but she was and always will be in my heart. Such a wonderful funny and loving person.She was there for me during some really tough times in my life and I will never forget her friendship. She treated students, staff and faculty like they were her own family. May she rest in peace.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow "Jasper Maker" and the family at this time. Staff -- current and past -- are recognized, remembered, and prayed for. We are mindful of the service of these good men and women that comprise the Jasper "forge" that making us what we are. 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.f
