1. My heart goes out to Pelosi, who is not only mourning the loss of Cummings,

but the loss of her brother, as well. This has to be a terrible time for her, yet she is handling everything with her usual grace and dignity. I am so proud of Madam Speaker!

He’s keeping us humble and determined and steadfast

What we do, we do in his honor, and we were so honored to know him

5. She and the widow hugged a long time

...after speaking quietly a while.

A very heartfelt exchange.

6. The weight on her shoulder must be unbearable after just eulogizing her brother and now one

of the premier members of her Congressional caucus. May HIS Grace and Mercy see her through this challenge.

Tears here.
