Just found this link to these heartbreaking pictures from my Governor Mel Carnahan's funeral from last year. I so wish I could have been there for that. I needed an outlet for my grief. Happily, I was able to channel that grief into vigilance and renewed dedication to electing him my U.S. Senator. His wonderful wife, and now widow, has become my hero in her handling of everything and her strong leadership in the Senate. Thank you Senator Jean Carnahan.
