In reply to the discussion: Saw Gov. Tim Walz this morning at my husband's Memorial. [View all]JMCKUSICK
(3,340 posts)6. My deepest sympathy for your lost treasure
ProudMNDemocrat. As a guy who left MN in 2009, I knew of Gov. Walz as a Congressman.
It makes me so proud that he has carried the torch of all the great DFL heroes that MN has given to this nation so exceptionally well and I'm thrilled that you call Tim and Gwen friends.
It takes the (sorry for the Minnesotaism) ISH out of my mouth regarding all the lousy politicians we have and reminds us all there are some great public servants left.
Thank you for sharing such a bright moment in an otherwise sad and painful experience.
May they be a huge part of your grieving process as well.
Love, John

Phil Castrovinci, and his family, are best kind of example of what Democrats should be.
