1. I bet Mandela was one of his favorite heroes.

A huge loss for all of us.

[malaise]

2. He just said that

Yes! This has really upset me even though we all know he was as good as dead for weeks.

"I can't imagine my own life without the example of Mandela". Obama

5. When the final moment comes, it can be too much to bare sometimes.

He did so much with his time on this earth.

8. He leaves much good and huge footprints in history.

Will he have a state funeral? Who from the US would go? Vice President Biden?

9. State Funeral

It is being reported on the news that he will have a state funeral. I assume President Obama and First Lady Obama will attend the funeral along with the Clintons. I imagine there will be many American political figures who will want to attend and will try to attend his funeral.
