Not sure what to say?

I would like to assure all of Tom Kearns' family that I remember Tom with great affection. I taught with him, and have fond memories of our Honors classes together. May he rest in peace!

How quickly the time passes! I still think of Tom with great affection, and remember especially the Honors class we taught together. May his legacy live on in all of you, and may he rest in peace!
Sister Mary Helen Kashuba SSJ

I am very sorry to hear of your father's death. My deepest sympathies to all of you. I taught with Tom Kearns in an interdisciplinary course at Chestnut Hill College, and recall many insightful moments. I recall his good work with our students in the 101 program, and much other good that he did in the course of his work. I will remember him and all of the family in my prayers. Sister Mary Helen Kashuba

Katie,
I am thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Please know you are in my prayers.
With love,

Katie, your dad was a brilliant man. His classes at CHC challenged every student to really think beyond the "not so obvious". You and your family are in my prayers.

Sending loving wishes to you all!

Patty, Katie, Mary, Nancy and Tommy, I am so sad to hear this news. I'll always think of your dad teaching me Shakespeare with Dr. Connor and taking us all skiing. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
