I just wanted to put a message in to show my respects to Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH) who died of a brain aneurysm today. Admittedly, I didn't know who she was until I got to Denver, but she was scheduled to talk to our group next week.
Her death is a sad reminder that no matter how firm your plans may be for the future you never know when life can suddenly be taken from you.
From what I've read today she was an honorable, passionate legislator dedicated to health care access, and quality education for all. She was also the first African-American Woman representative from Ohio.
Rest in peace Rep. Jones, I hope your life of dedication was an inspiration to many.
