Dear Catholic Answers Community, I hope that you are doing well and are having a happy Labor Day weekend. I have been praying in attending the University of Maryland-College Park for their undergraduate journalism program in the Phillip Merrill College of Journalism someday. You all know how much I care about UMCP, the program, and the students are in this field. I look up to them as role models each and everyday. I aspired to be like them and follow into their footsteps. The reason that I writing to you all is that I have a special prayer intention for someone that I would have loved to get to know in journalism when I begin my career at UMCP. Apart from my own personal prayer request which is not important at the moment, what I have to say is truly sad and I would to pray for this particular person, her family, and the lives that she touched. I heard that one of the stunning faculty members by the name of Penny Bender Fuchs passed away yesterday. Sadly, I did not get the chance to meet nor get to know her, but I would have loved get know her, however, I did read her bio on the journalism website in mid-August 2012 (because I want to know more about the journalism program and I was having a conversation with God). She was a respected journalism professor and she was well liked and loved by all including the students. Fuchs has been in the journalism profession for 15 years and decide to teach the next generation of journalists by giving them advice about the industry and how to be a good journalist as well as teaching courses in the school. She will be missed by all. I would like to take the time to pray for her soul/spirit, her family, and friends. I would also like to pray for the faculty members, students, and alumni who knew her and the lives that she touch. My prayers and condolences goes out to all. I would like to respect their privacy at this time. I know that Fuchs is watching over everyone from Heaven. She will not be forgotten and will be remembered by all. Her legacy will not go in vain. Please pray for her family, her friends, and the faculty, students, and alumni of the Phillip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland-College Park campus. Let the angels surround everyone. Penny, rest in peace. For more information about Mrs. Fuchs, please visit merrill.umd.edu/deadline/index.php/2012/08/31/penny-bender-fuchs-1962-2012/ . Thank you.
