I was there for the Border years. He was the Archbishop of Baltimore. He was the leader of our Catholic community. I was privileged to be one of many who worked with him to serve the community. I sit here with tears in my eye, this the night I heard of his death. He listened to me as he listened to all of the lay people who were part of the church here at Baltimore. And while our church is under the scrutiny of the world for our frailities, he can rest in peace for his part in coming to terms with our church our mother, the sinner, who we came to love as she was, not as we thought she was.
