Dunstan played a key role in my development at St. Benedict’s College in Atchison. He is remembered warmly and with gratitude for his support and guidance.
Helen, wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you in your loss. May faith and hope be part of your healing.
Dr. Wack was my favorite professor when I attended USC. He was very kind and helpful and wise. I have fond memories of him and have thought of him often throughout the years. May he rest in peace and may his family and friends be comforted by God’s Spirit.
