Beautiful tribute Tom. We have lost a great leader - and you and so many others, from what I am learning, have list a dear friend. I love the letter from her adult children about what we can do to honor their parents.
"If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following:
Plant a tree.
Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail.
Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do.
Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it.
Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone.
Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something.
Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace.
What a beautiful group of people who held you and each other on Saturday. Everything I learn about Melissa Hortman makes me sad I didn't know her myself. I'm sorry for your personal loss, for our collective loss. May her memory be a blessing

I hadn't seen this, Diane. All are great ideas. Let's do it!
