Today is a very sad day indeed.  :'(   I haven't slept since they first announced he was in serious condition, so now I'm going to try and rest before Mass.  I know he is resting in peace and finally with the Lord.

His suffering is over and he is being welcomed home.  A great man with many humanitarian accomplishments, he will be missed.
