My condolences to you and your family. No one is really gone if we remember them.

My thanks again to all of you who have written.
I didn't write anything before now because everyone else seemed to have already said it better than I could, but my thoughts have been with you and your family.
Empathy and cooperation made us rulers of the planet. Sympathy may yet save it.
Oh...
On the flight that took him to his resting place, in Jerusalem, overlooking the Temple Mount, Herb was accompanied in the hold of the El Al 747 by another Jewish hero, the astronaut Ilan Ramon, who died as the Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart in the sky over Texas, sixteen minutes from home.

Almighty Ruler of the all,
Whose Power extends to great and small,
Who guides the stars with steadfast law,
Whose least creation fills with awe,
O grant thy mercy and thy grace,
To those who venture into space.
(Robert A. Heinlein's added verse to the Navy Hymn)
