full video Elijah Cummings funeral
https://www.c-span.org/video/?465670-1/representative-elijah-cummings-funeral-baltimore&live1) Speakers who had something to say about the Current Occupant of the White House: very satisfying
• Hillary Clinton (at ~25 minutes)
• Nancy Pelosi (at ~38 minutes)
• Maya Cummings (Elijah's widow) (at ~2 hours 10 minutes)
• Barack Obama (at ~2 hours 35 minutes
2) All of the speakers were excellent, but I was most touched by:
•Dr. Leana Wen (mentee of Elijah, former head of Planned Parenthood and former head of the Baltimore health department) (at ~1 hour 57 minutes)
• Harry Spikes (former congressional aide) (at ~2 hours 2 minutes, right after Dr. Wen) - passed on wisdom from Elijah and added more than a little of his own
• And, of course, Barack. Sigh.

My God - how I miss him....
Thank you for posting this link so I can watch the whole ceremony. I've seen bits and pieces and it seems like it was a beautiful tribute to a wonderful, amazing man - Elijah Cummings....R.I.P.
