He said he's going to be the best daddy for our child and that he hopes I'm eating well. He said, 'I can't wait to see how the baby is going to look. I know it's going to be beautiful like you.'
— Sourisone Sananikone, fiancee, on letter she received after White's death

My condolences towards the DOOEWEY family THANK YOU !!!!!!!! For your sacrifice for me as a citizen grateful to be able to benefit from it. There is going to come a time where there will be peace worldwide a time when government will learn no more ISAIAH 2:4 reads "And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation neither will they learn war anymore".
