Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Your spirit lives on. You make the Salem State community proud. Prayers for your family and friends.

MY heart is saddened by this terrible attack on a wonderful man as are all those that new him. He risked his life to protect others, a very noble cause indeed, and this will be noted in Heaven as The Lord Honors him for his duty and sacrifice for us all.
May God help to heal his loved ones, friends and fellow workers who put their life on the line as well.

May God Bless us all!

My heart weeps for Officer Sean and his family and friends. As a mother of an MIT alumna, I was always comforted by the presence of MIT security during her recent four years on campus.. May you rest in peace, Sean, and heaven hold you gently.

Deepest sympathy to the Collier Family as well as the MIT Family. We have been hit with a terrible and senseless loss of one of our own. The MIT community will struggle with this, we will move on, but we will never forget Officer Sean Collier.
May he rest in peace.

I don't know what will happen to MIT if you were not there that night. I was shocked about the news. Hope you can continue your police dream in the heaven.

Sadly, I never met Sean Collier, but I feel a bond to him through that hugely meshed network called the MIT Family. From what I have read of his life, Sean is a person whose friendship I would love to have shared. He was a young man wonderfully dedicated to his professional calling, to his family, and to his friends. To all those around him. His tragic departure leaves a huge void in this world. If it is any consolation, those whom Sean touched in life have their memories of him with which to fill that void. Sean has not taken these memories with him. They are ours to keep forever, and to make us smile every time… Hereafter, the cold blow we were struck by Sean's all-too-early death last week will ever be warmed over by the thoughts and memories we retain of his presence among us.

My deepest condolences to Sean’s family and to all those whose paths he crossed in life and who are heartbroken at his passing. Remember him always.

Sincerely,

An MIT alum in Connecticut
