Working with you inside the government in multiple roles and then keeping in touch in our post-public service lives will always be cherished, but so much more than our long national security discussions and then conversations about our private sector aspirations, and particularly your hopes to make a real difference for your students, I remember the way your eyes would sparkle, your face would gain energy, your smile would grow broader, and your body would sit up just a little straighter whenever we were talking about your family, and especially your children. That beam of pride was infinite. And so may you rest in peace knowing that those you touched throughout your life, and especially your children, will live on through you -- and we will all be eternally better off for that. Rodney
