“One part of me is sad because when he mentions the name of Paul Wellstone, that presents to me a void in my life because it seems only yesterday he was back here walking around with his microphone. He was a champion of many causes. He worked so hard because he knew I was interested in the subject of suicide and what causes it and how we can prevent it. Even though I know how important this issue is, and we have to do something about it, I feel--like, I am sure, a lot of his friends who served in the Senate with him--a real void whenever his name is mentioned because he truly was one of the most remarkable people I have met in my life. I applaud and compliment the leader for his statement on mental health parity. For this man, it is long overdue to recognize him being a great Senator.”
