Paying Respect to Liam O'Donnelly

Dear fellow students of UMass,

Most of you are aware of the tragic loss of one of our own on April 4, but many are unaware of the life and wonderful spirit that Liam O'Donnelly brought to the world. A vigil to acknowledge his loss and his life will be held today, April 11. His father will be present, and after being one of the four who attended his wake, I know personally how much each pair of eyes he sees there today, paying respects to his beloved son, will mean to him and his family. Please, do all it takes to attend. It is, after all, the very least we can do.
