I put a post up on my blog for Kef

[WilliamPitt]

I thought the Lounge might want to share it.

1. What a beautiful tribute

Thank you.

[Rick Myers]

2. Thank you, Will.

Scott will be greatly missed...

3. Thank You William Pitt

That was a great tribute to a great person

4. Thanks for sharing that blog post. Fills in some blanks for me. He

seemed to be everywhere and he did it all so seemlessly. It was hard work, no doubt. And he was taken too soon no doubt. You were lucky to know him.

5. That was a moving tribute...

and I was heartened to read the section about the membership in an online community really mattering to the people involved. We design our families not always by the ties to blood, but by the intentional gathering of people with whom we can share love, laughter and tears. It is a very difficult task to memorialize another person - you have done so with a humbling passion and beauty. I am sorry that you have lost such a good friend, as I am sorry for Scott's other friends and family. My best...

12. How was that exploitation?

The tribute was about Scott. Will Mr. Pitt be making $249,000 from this?

I think if you have something personal to say to Will you should handle it through private messages.

This is not the place.

I think grief may have affected your decision here.
I admire you, please reconsider.

14. PM would be a great option

She can sure send them. Too bad she has the ability to reply disabled.

18. People get upset, angry, and then forgive.

Emotions run high and fast in groups that lose a member, particularly so unexpectedly.

I've been through enough funerals to know the cycle.

8. Thank you for sharing this moving tribute. I still can't believe he's gone

I'll always be looking for his posts in LBN. :cry:

10. DU will always seem emptier

without Kheph.

11. Beautiful, Will.

I just logged on, and I can't believe this. He will be missed, especially in LBN. I depended on his posts there to keep me informed.

[Misunderestimator]

13. With tears and thanks...

your words bring him to life for me who knows him only from his posts here and from the admiration of others I have seen today. I wish I had known the man... but I feel a tremendous amount of love for him today amplifying the love expressed by everyone who knew him well.

15. Very nice. Thanks, Will.

Khephra really was a patriot.

[bigwillq]

16. I'm moved to tears

Thanks for that wonderful tribute.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend Will. Many of us here at DU mourn Scott's loss. I wish I had gotten to know him better. From the hundreds of post here over the last two days, it was my loss for not knowing this great man.:cry:

[Ramsey]

17. I love that picture

That's from the very first DU party that we had here in Philly. It was the first time I met Scott, and Will, and many others.

I talked with Scott fairly often, mainly via email. He was a great intellect, a truly dedicated patriot, and a really funny, warm guy. At one protest gathering in DC, I learned all kinds of interesting facts about Scott, but they remain in that room, as promised.

Rest in peace, khephra. You were one of a kind, and I will miss you more than I can say.

19. Thank you, Will and the others who knew him personally

for making him a real life human being.

When I take the time to read a post I always look at the name of the person who has offered the thread and when I saw Khephra's name I always clicked it because I knew it would be important and interesting.

I have been crying since yesterday. I have bookmarked every tribute. Since I have never used bookmark before, they are all for and about and some by Kheph.

Thanks, Will :hug:

20. Thank you Will

Very moving, thank you.


"...and his soul was of such a tender quality that this hard world bruised him early and often."

21. Thanks for the tribute, very nice.

[underseasurveyor]

22. You're so thoughtful, kind and loving Will

I envy your ability to express in words your thoughts and feelings under this great burden of profound grief and loss.

It helps for those of us, like me, who have a difficult time expressing in words the pain that I believe all of us on DU are feeling.

Hugs to you Will.

[eleonora]

23. Thank you, Will

From a fellow Hoosier, I'm terribly saddened by DU's loss. I didn't know him personally, but the impact he's had on countless others is proof he was somebody quite special. I will try to pay more attention to people's names from now on.

[Walt Starr]

24. Thank you Will

:cry:

25. THANKS Will

26. This is the very best of

what democratic values are all about.
