Dear Jim and family, On behalf of our family here in Ireland please accept our sincere condolences on our dear cousin Phyllis' passing. May she rest in peace. I have fond memories of Phyllis' trip to Ireland, meeting her in Paris and of course in Yonkers.
May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand. ~Irish Blessing.
Fondly remembered, your cousin, Patrick Hynes, Gort, Co. Galway, Ireland.

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 man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

I worked at Manhattan College in the college relations office in the late 80s and early 90s. Phyllis was a wonderful colleague and taught me a great deal about Manhattan and life. Her gentle, sweet way, coupled with her humor made coming to work a pleasure. Whenever I have thought of her over the years, I have remembered her smile. You and your family are in my prayers. May Phyllis rest in peace.
