“I rise tonight to express by great admiration and appreciation for Dr. Lloyd Ogilvie, a man who has served the Senate, and our country, with great dignity and honor. Bob and I have treasured our friendship with Lloyd and Mary Jane through many years. I feel blessed to know such a warm, compassionate and caring couple. They share a beautiful partnership and just last year celebrated 50 years of marriage and three wonderful children, Scott, Heather and Andrew. Mary Jane has long been admired for setting such a strong example of what it means to give of yourself. After battling breast cancer 20 years ago, she has done so much to help other women going through the pain--physical, emotional and spiritual--of cancer and cancer treatment. My thoughts and prayers are continually with Mary Jane and her family now, at this very difficult time in her life and theirs. Lloyd Ogilvie is an extraordinary man of God. He has served amongst us with such a gentle and humble spirit, that sometimes it has been easy to forget what a world-renown spiritual guide and Biblical scholar we have had in our midst. As a profound preacher, as well as an author and editor of over 40 books, Lloyd Ogilvie is admired the world over for his depth of insight into eternal truths and for his ability to communicate those truths in a God-horning and loving spirit.…”
