Farewell Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
July 18, 1918 - December 5, 2013
Today we are saying farewell to a global icon who fought for peace, justice and equality. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, former President of South Africa, passed away today at the age of 95. I wrote about him in July when he celebrated his 95th birthday, ironically because my birthday is also in July. He fought a good fight. He is admired by so many around the world. He and his message will not be forgotten! Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and the citizens of his country who loved, respected and adored him so much!

Tribute written for Nelson Mandela's 95th birthday.
