Cord Byrd: “I appreciate from my heart the kind words of my dear friend, Senator…”

On the recordMay 26, 2006

I appreciate from my heart the kind words of my dear friend, Senator Mitch McConnell, from our neighboring State of Kentucky. I am not sure that I was meant to have all these blessings, but I am sure of one thing: Erma was the perfect woman, the greatest woman I have ever met. And today I have no doubt that she is in Heaven. I also have no doubt that I can meet her. Let me thank again my friend, Mitch McConnell. How lovely were his words. How nice of him. I thank the Senator very much. ____________________
