On the recordApril 25, 1994
This past week, my mother passed away. The onset of the serious health problems that took her life came quite quickly. As a result, I was not here for most of last week. But many colleagues and others connected to the Senate were most gracious and kind in sending remarks, well wishes and sympathy in various ways. I am just very grateful for that. On behalf of my family, I want to thank everyone who has been so kind over that period of time. I think anyone who has gone through the death of a parent understands what a unique and deeply saddening moment that is. And it certainly has been true for me. So I again thank everyone involved for their courtesies over this period of time.
