CAMPUS

A message from Ward and Tina McCracken:
We would like to thank the Gannon community for all of the support you
gave us as we dealt with the loss of our sister, Janet. We sincerely
appreciate your many different expressions of consolation, especially the
power of the many prayers you offered to comfort our family. As a member
of the Gannon family for years, I have participated in helping others deal
with loss and grief, but for the first time, I have gained a new
perspective on what it means to be the recipient of so much unconditional
love and support as all of you have shown to me and my family. Once again,
thank you for all of the many kind and thoughtful ways you have helped and
strengthened us in these last weeks.
