Blessings to his family. Let us hope that none of them feel driven/directed to take over his campaign of hate. Love is a much better choice.

Blessings to us all.

One correction, if I may. He didn't just picket the funerals of gay soldiers but instead targeted all military funerals that he could. If I'm right, I believe his reason was that they died BECAUSE they were defending a country that believed in Gay Rights. I am very proud of my motorcycle brothers and sisters who formed The Patriot Guard Riders in response to this. They provided a nonviolent, volunteer buffer between the protesters and mourners.

I hope that his spirit can now find the peace and knowledge that his hatred in life prevented him from finding.
