My brother Johnny loved jazz and Louis Armstrong so it was so great that my husband and I recently got to see “A Wonderful World” on Broadway. The show was about the life of the greatest jazz musician who ever lived. I felt Johnny’s presence with me during the show. Armstrong had an optimistic belief that love can transform the world. He believed that a better world is within reach if we choose kindness and compassion. Johnny had the same belief system and was a very kind and caring soul who I miss every day.

Previously and currently we are all called not only to examine our governmental policies, but our own lives and how we can live for the common good of all our citizens. We need it now more than ever with the chaos and spiritual poverty around us. I miss Johnny’s love, support, and understanding .
