Carlos, my friend,

I was going to write you tomorrow to say thank you for the successful, harmonious coordination of the different pieces of the tragic funeral, and yet, solemn celebration of Beau's life.  The tone your team set is a reflection of your spiritual depth, professional comportment and sense of human dignity and attentive care.

When Ashley and Hunter spoke about love of family it was one of the most eloquent expressions of true love I have ever heard or witnessed.  It was above real; it was like listening to two wise friends explaining, with one heart and soul, about what is the essence of unfeigned and true love.  Very powerful....I cried throughout their eulogies while I looked at the young widow with her two children and a beloved revered grandfather, an esteemed friend, embracing his family and all in the Church with a Biden genuineness that set a standard for us all.

His Eminence and I were honored to pray with the Biden Family and friends gathered to pay their respects to a truly beautiful young man whose life was much too short for him and all of us.  I don't know if I ever told you that my Mother died at the age of 33 leaving six of us.  I was nine years old at the time.  To comfort me an elderly person said this to me, " if you love those you've lost, you've not lost those you love."  That was sixty one years ago.  It all came back to me at Beau's funeral.  Eternal be his memory!

The Archbishop's cell phone is:  646-708-2626. Home 212-628-2146.

The best address is:

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese

10 East 79th Street

New York, NY 10075

Mine is

70 Old Town Road

Southampton, NY. 11968

Sorry to have rambled on.  I was deeply moved, but wanted to thank you and, if one can say it, congratulate you for handling the details so well that we all could grieve and pray in peace  and holiness.

Fr. Alex
