Sean Collier

May we have your blessing, Sean, from where you are...

Never met you, but as a member of the MIT Police, you must have been a fine person. So sorry.

Your courage is an example to everyone; its still hard to believe something like this would happen in front of Stata - a building that sprung up into existence while we were students; we were the first ones to work there. Thank you for being the wonderful person that you were. May you rest in peace

Thank you Officer Collier, you are a TRUE hero, not just for the MIT community but for the entire city of Boston and the rest of the country.

From the Netherlands, I am sending my condolences to the family and friends of Officer Sean Collier.

Thank you Sean for protecting the students and our beloved Stata Center. I had friends and professors in there. What a privilege for MIT to have you as a police officer. Thanks to all the policemen/policewomen who kept MIT, Cambridge, and Boston safe. You all are our heros for risking your lives for us. Thank you Sean for your ultimate sacrifice. We won't forget!

Our deepest condolences to the Collier family. I've heard nothing but fantastic things from all those who knew him. He helped us all by performing his duties as a Police Officer. I wish i got to know him personally. Sean thank you for your service and i'm proud to have served with you in the Police Brotherhood.

Our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Officer Sean Collier.

The loss of a brother or sister in public safety is felt throughout the entire extended family. R.I.P. Brother, from the thin red line to the thin blue line, we'll always have your back.

Thank you, Sean, for taking such good care of the MIT students. You seemed like a swell kind of guy! My sincere condolences to your family and friends, the community of MIT, and all affected by this tragedy.

To have a son like the man I have seen described on these pages and elsewhere would be its own condolence; honor to his memory. I have a son a little younger than Officer Collier, and can imagine the grief I would feel at losing him. My deepest sympathy to Sean's parents and family, his friends and colleagues. And my thanks for his service to our communities.
