A transcript of my speech at Annelle McColllister Sealy's homecoming service August 17, 2012:

There was no media coverage, no front page headlines.
In fact to most of the world, it will largely go unnoticed. But to those of us who knew, there was a small eclipse as God carried one of his brightest lamps upstairs and out of our room.
Now, if weeping endureth for a night, we're all sitting in darkness right now, sitting alone with one question:
WHY? Why God? Why her? Why now?
