‘Gracious. Generous. Always with his home state and his fellow Mississippians at the top of his mind and deep in his heart. Today, at the State Capitol in Jackson, Mississippians gathered to return the favor. Thad Cochran is at the top of their minds. He is deep in their hearts. And most importantly, our friend is on his way to a just reward in his Father’s house. So the Senate today sends our condolences and our prayers to Thad’s wife Kay, and his two children Clayton and Kate, and his grandchildren and many, many friends. And we stand together in remembering our good friend.’
