Countless people have reached out to express not only condolences for our mother's death, but to share personal testimonies about her impact on their lives.
This seat belongs to the people of the 18th, and the people - who affirmed Barbara, Mickey and Sheila - will no doubt identify and select the 18th's next great champion as well.
