Re: SENATOR BOB DOLE LYING IN STATE

@Oznell - Thank you for the pictures. I would have liked to watch the whole service, but I couldn't. I did get to see the end, with Lee Greenwood singing. I hope I can see it online.

Re: SENATOR BOB DOLE LYING IN STATE

It's well worth a watch, @beach-mom --  for Robin Dole's reading of a farewell letter Bob Dole wrote  ( in which his dry humor flashes ), for the sermon, and for the haunting singing of "Shall We Gather at the River",  among other treasures.

I cried during Robin's eulogy.
I loved President Biden"s remarks.

I didn't hear the latter, @JamandBread ,  but caught most of Robin's tribute, and liked it too.  I like that she quoted her father's own words that showed his ever-present deadpan wit, even on the solemn subject of heaven and what he could expect there.

Robin's stories about her pets were sweet.  Sounds like she had a wonderful relationship with her Dad.
