the legacy live on

It was a sad and somber day at St. Albans High, as if somebody had died... of course, we are at the wake of Tim Russert.

People are deeply sad, some are crying, some still stunned but every one is demonstrating a calm composure of their emotions that Tim exercised every Sunday on 'Meet the Press' and probably every day at work or at home.

We stood beside the casket and prayed for his soul hoping that God will grant him a place in his heaven not because of what faith group he belonged to but because of what he did for his fellow being.

God must be rewarding him for his compassion, love, respect, honer and the sense of decency he reminded us of and the love he gave to all the people he managed to touch. And what about his mentoring his patriotism his willingness to make a difference for the common man? I'm sure God must be rewarding him with His blessings.

There is a lot to learn from what Tim Russert has left behind, maybe some were already trying many of the things that Tim did, but at least now they know what to call it.

Give thanks.
