It's hard to tell where we are as a team. But I think we'll be fine in the next few weeks, if we can get some weather on our side.

Even when he was sick, you still felt a sense of comfort when he was around. It shows you he not only had a physical presence but a reputation, an aura. I had heard he made it a point to be there on Messier night. Even through the pain and suffering, he was still focused on his responsibilities. It shows character and toughness, too.
