RE: School Event: Fatality at the Construciton Site

Its sad to say that last week at the construction site of the new Heelan Hall a worker; Jeorge Morales was in a tragic accident and passed away from the complications on his injuries when a large amount of debris fell ontop of him. It is awful to have later learned that Mr. Morales left leaving behind a Wife, two chileren and another on the way. I can only hope that his family is strong and can learn to move on in life. This is easy to say but if I were in his families position it would be almost impossible to live without a son, husband or father.
On a lighter note, I later learned that the family and the construction company were moved when Briar Cliff University had a remembrance ceremony for Mr. Morales. A co-worker spoke during the ceremony to tell the University that he was touched because he never expected the school to react in the such a positive way that it did for his friend.
