My condolences to Rep. Emmer and to his entire family. I hope they are comforted by a lifetime of warm memories.
My mom, Patsy, decided today was her day to rise too. She passed peacefully this morning. I can see her right now smiling in the embrace of her love and my father, Tom, and my sister, Bridget. Our time together never was and never will be enough. Love your families today more than ever. On behalf of my brother Jack and sister-in-law Molly, our brother-in-law Tom and his wife Paula, and our families, Jacquie and I appreciate your prayers.
