Both my sister and I were deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Rogers, who was a wonderful "neighbor" to us for many years.
Also - a side note - my college Psych. professor attended a seminar that featured Mr. Rogers. He recalled in class that what you saw on the show, was the true man. From the gentle voice, to the peaceful and graceful way he carried himself. He was not just putting on a show for children when he was in front of the cameras. He was just being a kind and warm human being.
He will be very missed for many years to come.
