Ms. Warren confirmed Mr. Herring’s death in a series of tweets Thursday morning, calling him “charming and funny, a natural leader.”
“What made him extra special was his smile — quick and crooked, it always seemed to generate its own light, one that lit up everyone around him,” Ms. Warren wrote. “I’m grateful to the nurses and front-line staff who took care of him, but it’s hard to know that there was no family to hold his hand or to say ‘I love you’ one more time — and no funeral for those of us who loved him to hold each other close.” |
