This with the eternal light burning backdrop is the most important part of the entire proceedings for me. It is the most impactful.
RIP, dear Uncle Ted. I love you.

| 5. Is the letter on the web |
|
I have missed the letter and know about it. Is there anywhere I can find it? Also is the memorial still in progress? I will go to my daughters house to watch it if it is. I am in Central Time. Thanks.

| 6. It is over, the cameras have cut away |

The letter basically asked for prayers, talked about how healthcare was the cause of his life....

| 7. The funeral just ended. |

You may be able to catch a replay later on in the evening.
The letters will end up posted on the MSNBC and the other media web sites, the priest just read them at the graveside ceremony and the press appeared to be taken aback by them.
welcome to DU.

| 9. They may have used that because of a somewhat snarky article published by Time on Friday.. |
|
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1919064,00.html?imw=Ywhich indicated that he had never received a reply from the Vatican to the letter, quoting the usual uninformed suspects about the circumstances.
