Never forgotten Senator Bob Graham

After my injury on Macdill Airforce base in Tampa I was so shattered broken when I spoke with Senator Bob Graham he helped me stayed with me through this difficult process helping me receive workers compensation and disability ssd after my nervous breakdown trying to file documents with the Supreme court merit board he was a wonderful person who cared about everyone I am so saddened to hear of his passing my prayers are with his family for comfort and healing many political leaders could learn a lot from Senator Bob Graham human process what an awesome human being he treated me like i was his daughter it wasn't easy and i was emotionally crippled he never abandoned me he listened he cared and he got things done keeping my dignity thank you for your service may your family be comforted and may you continue to rest in heavenly peace My family have our flags half staff In Honor of Senstor Bob Graham Taps are sounding rest in peace.

Thank you, Yolanda! The tendency phere is to make every political person into a devil which is wrong! yes, some of them are bad but not all of them. And by writing this, you prove my point that I’ve been trying to say for five years, so I thank you for that. I thank you for being willing to honor a politician because it won’t be done here otherwise. It’s more like spit on all politicians and I don’t like it because like you I have known many that have helped me along the way too. Pangiexx.

Florida man extraordinaire Bob Graham Yolanda, I only read great things about the senator A proud Democrat, he governed a kinder state in which party wasn’t the be-all, end-all it is now, and his initiatives in education weren’t political, aimed at elevating student learning and ensuring public dollars went to enrich public schools, not private ones. Sorry to hear of difficulties you have suffered. Our beloved Gov Jerry Brown is 86 now, he too is a great man and WAS an awesome Gov. ahead of his time! Lovey tribute

Alas living so far away in Malta, I know very little of American history and current affairs. But judging from this poem, you are to be congratulated on the tribute to Bob Graham. An excellent eulogy.
