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.
