Hello Wonderful. We've experienced the loss of so many special people in our personal lives and on the world stage: Tom Wolfe, Aretha Franklin, Neil Simon and Senator John McCain who would have been 82 today. This weekend we'll be watching Senator McCain's funeral where he will be eulogized by former Presidents Barack Obama and George W.
