From the DFL Party: 

October 26, 2002

 

Dear Friends,

 

No words can describe the loss we have all suffered this week.  Thank you for all the calls, emails or for stopping in the office.  I know it means a great deal to the staff at the Party and to Senator Wellstone�s team.  Together we will find a way to come through these dark days.  For those of you who were not able to be a part of the candlelight service at the State Capitol last night, it was a special evening for everyone and we know you were with us in spirit.

 

In the days ahead as we remember Paul, Sheila, Marcia, Mary, Will, Tom and the two pilots we must remain strong, just as Senator Wellstone would want us to.  We will work hard to keep the DFL web page up to date with information about services and other tributes to all those involved in this grave tragedy. 

 

To our associate chair, Mary, we love you and our thoughts and prayers are with you, your husband Jamie and family.  I know Mary�s spirit will remain with us and help us carry on.  

 

I want to pass along to you the information we have received regarding the public memorial scheduled in honor of Paul, Shelia, Marcia, Mary, Will and Tom, as well as Mary�s visitation and funeral arrangements.

 

1) There will be a public memorial for Paul, Sheila, Marcia, Mary, Will and Tom at Williams Arena on Tuesday evening at 6:30 p.m.  Williams Arena is located on the University of Minnesota campus at 1923 University Avenue SE, Minneapolis.
