Yes, let's celebrate pro social people who know we are in it together and want to make life better for all of us instead of separating us. Have a beautiful week! Aloha!
I love this painting of him!! :)
...and many states held back from celebrating it at first.
The world is poorer without him. He will be unforgetable.
He was a wonderful man.
All the best Jan
