Dear Virginia and all the Beaney Family.

We have all lost a very dear friend but only for the short haul until we're all back together again.

Love, Jim (and Jean too!)

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.
