Remembering Tubbs Jones
The National Jewish Democratic Council is calling Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio) "an outstanding advocate for Cleveland and issues important to the Jewish community" who "will be deeply missed."
Tubbs Jones, whose district in eastern Cleveland and the city's suburbs was heavily Jewish, died Wednesday of a brain aneurysm at the age of 58. She was the first African American woman to represent Ohio in Congress.

She was a great woman who will be forever a blessing as we remeber her and her deeds. Should we all be so fortuniate to live up to her examples.
