On Friday, our country lost Congressman John Lewis, an inspiring individual who stirred so much important change. I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Congressman John Lewis' family, friends, and staff. Congressman Lewis will always be an icon of courage to promote equality and freedom. I will always cherish his thoughtful and cheerful encouragement during our time serving in Congress together. Congressman Lewis was especially appreciated by his neighbors--the people of South Carolina. We will always remember Congressman Lewis for his many significant accomplishments. And although he is no longer with us, his legacy will always live on. My prayers are with the Lewis family during this incredibly painful time.
