In reply to the discussion: DU's "Senator" Died June 8, 2011 [View all]pat_k
(9,313 posts)61. Thank you so much.
His truly was a life well lived. It was always more about the journey for him. He was more concerned with the well-being of his fellow travelers on the road, than on getting to the next milepost. His voice will always be with me, reminding me to pay attention to the things that really matter -- to "stop and smell the roses." Remembering is still so painful -- the fact that he is gone is still unreal at times. But I know one day I'll be able to look back without tears, and just be thankful for the joyful times we shared.

I'm so sorry. How awful. At least he died in his sleep, so that is something.
