The prayer was offered by the Father David P. Jones, Senate Chaplain.

Good morning, for some of you who don't know, I have the sad duty of letting you know that one of your colleagues, Eleanor Podles died yesterday or this morning, I am not exactly sure which. The things that I was going to say to you this morning sort of become irrelevant because from time to time in the middle of the super heated political environment of a place like this we forget that it is the people in our lives that really matter. At a time like this, it doesn't matter if you are a Republican, Democrat, Liberal or conservative or anything in between. Eleanor sat in the seat where Pat is sitting right now for, I think, 16 years or so and was my Senator for a lot of those years. She loved to play golf, but more than that she loved the Senate and she loved taking care of her constituents. I remember her telling me over and over and over again that it was her greatest joy. So I ask you today to remember her and to pray for her and Francis and her family and for all of us that now miss this friend who suddenly has disappeared from our sight but not from right here, our hearts. Let's just have a moment of silence and think of your own favorite Eleanor stories.
