Thanks for your service in keeping MIT safe. MIT CPs always excel at a difficult job - keeping an urban campus safe, while tolerating a great deal of nonsense and aggravation from the student body. We probably never thought of the CP while at MIT, and it is tragic that we only know take the time to recognize their efforts. Belatedly, thank you to the entire MIT Campus Police force.

After some 30 years from graduating from MIT I cannot stop thinking of the special people who made me feel secure during my sunrise returns back to Tang Hall from the Institute. Officer Collier died for the same good cause, the sense of duty which drives every decent person any place he /she asked to serve. May rest in peace, next to war heroes.

It is with heartfelt sorrow that I express the condolences of both myself and my husband. We are longtime university police officers ourselves and feel the pain of the entire MIT Police Department and Officer Collier's family. A promising life and career cut short.

It is with deep sadness and my sincerest condolences that I write. The MIT campus not only lost an officer and protector, but MIT in whole lost a family member. One who put his life in front of others to serve and protect. May you be comforted knowing that our lives have been enriched by having known and shared the brave and valiant life of Officer Sean Collier.

The members of the MIT Police Force were always friendly and supportive of the student body and their families. They are very special. We didn't know Officer Collier, as our daughter graduated before he joined the force, but we are sure he too was very special. Our condolences to his family and the entire MIT family.

I send my condolences to the friends and family of Officer Collier. Mr. Collier reminds me how the LEO community represents the best in all of us. To sacrifice one's life for the greater good of the human race is the highest calling any individual can have. Hopefully, his family knows he will continue to watch over all of them in the days to come. Never let his memory go, and in your hearts he will live on forever.

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.
