Our prayers are with Grace's family, friends and those who loved her. We also pray for healing for those who were injured, particularly Paige Cohen, Anne Comcowich, Maggie O’Leary, Bianca McIver, Hannah Strom and coach Patrick Diggins, who remain hospitalized, and for the members of the women's rowing team, their coaches, and their families. May God help us to support them and each other as we grieve and heal. We will have the opportunity in the coming weeks to gather together in remembrance and prayer. The Chaplains’ office will share that information once plans are in place,” Rev. Philip L. Boroughs, president of Holy Cross, said in a statement.
