In loving memory of Schuyler Colfax,

Today, we gather to honor the extraordinary life and legacy of a true statesman, Schuyler Colfax. As we reflect on his many accomplishments, we are reminded of the immense impact he had on our nation and the inspiration he continues to provide.

Schuyler Colfax was an exceptional leader, serving as the 17th Vice President of the United States under President Ulysses S. Grant. Throughout his political career, he embodied integrity, compassion, and dedication to the American people. He tirelessly worked to build bridges of understanding and promote unity during a time of great division in our nation's history.

Schuyler Colfax's commitment to justice and equality propelled him to play a pivotal role in the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which aimed to abolish slavery, grant equal protection under the law, and secure voting rights for all citizens. His unwavering dedication to these principles has left an indelible mark on our society, shaping the path towards a more inclusive and fair nation.

Though his political achievements are notable, Schuyler Colfax's legacy extends far beyond the realms of politics. He was a devoted family man, a loyal friend, and a beacon of hope for those around him. With his warm smile, kind heart, and unwavering optimism, he brightened the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Today, we celebrate Schuyler Colfax's remarkable life, cherishing the memories we hold dear. His contributions may have been monumental, but our fondest recollections reside in the heartfelt moments shared with him. Whether it was in the midst of a political debate or sitting around the dinner table, Schuyler Colfax's presence was always a source of comfort and inspiration.

As we bid farewell, let us remember Schuyler Colfax as a true patriot, a compassionate leader, and a champion for the rights of all. A legacy like his demands that we continue his work, striving for a nation where equality, opportunity, and justice prevail.

May Schuyler Colfax's memory forever live on in our hearts and may his example guide us towards a brighter future.

Rest in peace, dear Schuyler Colfax.
