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.

To the Crane family, I am so sorry for your loss. God tells us that he will bring an end to all the suffering that we face, including death. I hope that this gives you some comfort. God also tells us that we will have a chance to see our loved ones again in a paradise.
