Apr 2016

My heart sank too. I mmediately started crying and I made an excuse and left work. It was horrible, such a great loss, I loved him so much. Watched him on Cspan all the time. I keep a black and white photo of him and his wife and daughter, when they we on the back on the green bus Right before they drove it to Washington, on my desk.

I'll never believe it was an accident and I worry about Bernie.
