Where once two peerless patriots lived, we mourn, but
Heaven rejoices, for these are two of God's most special
children, together again, never to be parted. "Once
upon a time, the world was sweeter than we knew; everything
was ours, how happy we were then..." - from the song
Once Upon A Time, words by Lee Adams; music by Charles
Strouse. Helen was a dear, dear friend, as was Wayne. The
torches they carried are now carried on by those of us still
here. We will not let them down!

Former U.S. Rep. Helen
Chenoweth-Hage died Monday in a car crash, her daughter said.
Chenoweth-Hage, a Republican who was elected to Congress
from Idaho in 1994 and served through 2000, was 68. Her

Helen and Wayne were both 'Points of Light' (Randy Travis
song; "There is a time, when you cannot walk away, When
you've got to stand up straight and tall and mean the words
you say; There is a time you must do it 'cause it's right;
That's when you become a Point of Light"). The entire
world is blessed for them having been here, if only for a
short few years. It was my blessing to have been counted
among their friends. With reddened eyes and a huge lump in
my throat, I want to believe it's not true, that somehow
it's a mistake, that I could drive out to Pine Creek Ranch
and find them still there. God, how You blessed us by
sharing these two with us!
