Tom,  If his absence isn’t registering with you (and me, and so many others) it’s probably because he is still in a very real way, with us.  All of his good work for peace and justice was an 
example of total devotion, and I feel him smiling on us and telling us to keep up the good work and that his own work will continue through us.
I still picture him walking out in the middle of heavy traffic handing out flyers during the US assault on Iraq, and I know of at least one person who joined the effort after taking one of those flyers.

So well said, Josie.  What a kind, humble, dedicated, fearless and non-judgemental man.  His absence just isn't registering with me for some reason; can't believe it's true.

Warm regards,
Tom

Dear Mike and everyone,
Thanks for sharing Tom Henry's words.  Here is the passage that most captures my own reaction to Steve's death:

With kindness, affection, and respect, I submit there's a little part of all of us that dies when guys like Steve Miller leave us.

Even though I only saw Steve maybe a couple times a year, he had such a profound effect on me.  And I was surprised to find my emotions stirred so deeply by his loss. I woke up in the middle of the night after I heard the news, and all I could think was "Great Soul, Great Soul."  I am so sorry I will be out of town and not able to attend his memorial service.  It would have meant a great deal to be there and connect again with Steve's humble and moving spirit.  I hope that copies or videos of the eulogies will be circulated afterwards.  My heart goes out to all of you who spent so many Sunday afternoons and much more with Steve.  

In sympathy,
Josie
