Not sure what to say?

Please accept my condolences. The Scriptures provide the best hope for all who have lost loved ones in death. Please read Isaiah 25:9

Irving Kristol was a man I greatly admired for his ideas, his genial nature, and his lack of self-importance. I always enjoyed talking to him. I will miss him. Sincerely, Stephen Miller

Mr. and Mrs. Kristol always welcomed me into their New York City Riverside Drive home as a friend of their daughter. He was a gracious and gentle person. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.

Bailey (the therapy dog) and I enjoyed meeting Mr. Kristol on Monday night at Capital Hospice. It was great to know that he loved dogs (I liked him immediately for that) and especially golden retrievers (even better). We are glad to have been able to bring him some joy through our visit so near to the end of his life. I will remember the smile on his face (a wonderful, beautiful smile) forever. It makes our time spent volunteering worth every minute. We are sorry for the loss of your husband...

Mr. Kristol was a very eloquent man who helped define American Values for the 20th and 21st century. His teachings will hopefully stay with us for many generations to come.
