“Let me add my voice in commendation of Lloyd Ogilvie. He has been superb as the religious leader of this body. Several years ago, my chief of staff died suddenly and unexpectedly. I called Dr. Ogilvie on very short notice and asked him to come and lead my staff in prayer and remembrance. I will never forget the extraordinary job, the extraordinary sensitivity that Dr. Ogilvie brought to that task. I will never forget the way he made my staff feel better in a very acute time of loss. Dr. Ogilvie has been a remarkable friend to us all; he has done a superb job of leading us in prayer, and been a counselor to so many in the Senate family. We are going to miss him very much, and certainly miss the presence of Mary Jane as well. I thank the Chair.”
