Former Republican Senator Bob Dole, who passed away this week at the age of 98, included in his farewell letter a playful jab at the Democratic Party.
“As I make the final walk on my life’s journey, I do so without fear. Because I know that I will, again, not be walking alone,” Dole said in a farewell letter that was read by his daughter Robin at his funeral in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. “I know that God will be walking with me,” the late senator wrote. “I also confess that I’m a bit curious to learn and find if I am correct in thinking that heaven will look a lot like Kansas and to see, like others who have gone before me, if I will still be able to vote in Chicago.”
