Dear Ms. Rock,
I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Manor where I came to know Mr. Rock as a resident. He was an interesting addition to the Bojanowski family often sharing with me aspects of his background in education, and business. His enjoyment of reading led me to the library searching out his chosen books. He spoke often of his deceased brother, and of you, a real blessing to him during this difficult time in his life. I'm happy to have met him...and glad to have met you. I'm sorry for your loss.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares your 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.
