I Was One of the Peple Who Loved You - From Amy

I stopped by the Joe Paterno statue by the stadium several mornings this week. Each time, there were more offerings, more tokens of affection left on the statue and around it.

People stood around the statue and the offerings, looking sad, taking photographs, speaking in hushed tones.

There may have been prettier offerings than this, but none more heartfelt. In childish script, a young lady had written this note. I'll retype it here so you can read it.

JoePa,
You were a nice man.
I loved to go to your games.
I was one of the peple who loved you.
- From Amy
