We've lost a legend...

Paul Leonard Newman
January 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008

~ ~ ~

"Funny, upright, smart, brave, moral, talented, faithful, honest, manly, wise, humble: he's simply good people. A mensch, in fact and deed.

...my work seems very unimportant right now, and so, it seems to me, is a repetition of the man's amazing accomplishments on screen, on the race track, in the fields of food sales and philanthropy and as a family man, public citizen and friend. What matters is that a good -- and maybe a great -- man is passing from among us, and our world will be just that much smaller when he has gone.

So just this, then: Godspeed."

Shawn Levy - Film Critic, Author, Biographer - June 10, 2008

Ruth Bell Graham
June 10, 1920 - June 14, 2007

"Ruth was my life partner, and we were called by God as a team.
No one else could have borne the load that she carried.
She was a vital and integral part of our ministry, and
my work through the years would have been impossible
without her encouragement and support. I will miss
her terribly, and look forward even more to the day
I can join her in Heaven" - Billy Graham
