Although I didn't know Sean, I feel the pain that any parent would feel in the loss of their child. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. May he rest on 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

Sean, may your soul rest in peace. May the songs of the angles welcome you into heaven.

Mrs Collier and all of Sean's family and friends,
You are in the prayers of so many people. My message represents many others who would like to share your grief and encourage you. I have always found comfort in a quote from a Joyce Kilmer poem, "Dust thou art, to dust returnith was not spoken of the soul."

Dear Sean:
I know that you are in heaven now and I bless you for all your time served here at MIT. Thank you for your contagious big smile and waiting patiently in the crosswalk holding back traffic until my dog Benjamin and I could cross Vasser Street safely. You are with the Angels now looking down upon all of us. You are sorely missed. God Be With You!

Sean Collier will be missed.
I visited MIT this spring with my son. We both remarked one how safe and welcoming the MIT campus felt.
I know in my heart that Sean Collier and his fellow officers are the reason we felt that way.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and loved ones.

RIP MIT Officer Sean Collier
"Policeman's Prayer"
When I start my tour of duty God,
Wherever crime may be,
as I walk the darkened streets alone,
Let me be close to thee.

Please give me understanding with both the young and old.
Let me listen with attention until their story's told.
Let me never make a judgment in a rash or callous way,
but let me hold my patience let each man have his say.

Lord if some dark and dreary night,
I must give my life,
Lord, with your everlasting love
protect my children and my wife.

Dearest Sean, you were, are, and always will be a part of our MIT neighborhood. Against those who would destroy it, you showed us the true meaning of "community" and friendship.
