That was one of the best tributes to a person's life I've ever read or heard. I sit here now feeling a warmth in my heart for a person I never knew. I envy you your lifetime with this wonderful person so full of kindness and compassion you introduced me with your words.

We should mourn when one of the truly good among us pass. Know you're in my thoughts this evening, ColesCountyDem.
