What a huge shock! Tracy expresses it well.  Jacinta was a pleasure to work with, respectful, free with compliments, prompt and specific with information, interested in every aspect of her building. At the same time she lavished her communications with personal attachments, inquiring after me specifically, painting her emails with creativity and affection. She called people "Dear" and "Honey" and meant it. I regret her loss tremendously and will miss her every time my work calls me to the Com Building. She cared. Good bye Dear Jacinta.

As the tears roll down my face, I would like to say that Jacinta was a good friend, who I will miss dearly. She would lift me up when I was down she would laugh with me, and treat me with respect. I loved her dearly.

In addition I must say the impact she left on the custodial department was huge.  There is not one custodian that has not express their grief in the loss of her.

I am sorry to inform you that one of our own, Jacinta McKoy, performing and media arts coordinator, passed away unexpectedly last night.  This comes as a great shock to our community, as we lost one of our most beloved and dedicated colleagues.  Jacinta brought unflappable good humor and tremendous grace to her work.  We will dearly miss her heartfelt commitment to hospitality, indeed she set high standards for the Com Building.
