University Relations

Thank You

My family and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to members of the Kutztown University community who sent kind words, flowers, contributions and gifts of sympathy and compassion to our family after Al's passing. Our kids and I have felt so much love and compassion as we heal from this unexpected loss of my husband and the kids' father.  It does help in the healing process to know that so many people have us in their thoughts and prayers. Again, on behalf of Maddy, Keith, Kevin and myself, our deepest thanks.
