We will never forget him'

To the Sullivan Family, and to the entire Notre Dame student body:

We, as members of the Notre Dame faculty, wish to express our grief, shock and horror at the death of Declan Sullivan. Our hearts and sympathy go out to you all. Many of us feel bereft and helpless in the face of this terrible tragedy.

Declan's untimely death, and what we have learned of his life, promise and talents, remind us that every one of our students is precious and absolutely irreplaceable. We promise that, whether or not we knew Declan personally, we will never forget him.

With love, sympathy and solidarity,

Members of the Notre Dame Faculty
