I am very sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. I hope that you find comfort in the words at Revelation 21:4, where is promises that "God will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more..."

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.
