Elija Cummings 1951-1-2019

My heart is heavy because of the loss of this greatest of men. My tears well up as each speaker sings his praises. He was a yardstick for good and a moral compass for all that is right. He fought for it and then died too soon for the mind of those who loved him to comprehend. Rest easy this warrior for the greatest good. Rest easy for this champion of the poor. Rest easy for this leader who had a passion for humanity and showed us the path to perfection to which this nation should strive.

Elijah Cummings was a charismatic giant who stood on the shoulders of those giants who made this nation into a beacon of liberty's light for the suffering, for the poor, for the immigrant, for the sick and for the dispossessed. I love you, Elijah Cummings. We who consider ourselves humanitarian will miss you more than you will ever know.
