Nelson Mandela will be missed but his legacy, his life work will not be forgotten. The most admirable example of emerging from imprisonment for 27 years and not becoming a vengeful, hateful old man. Instead he was the opposite. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and became the first black president of South Africa. He died in dignity as an elder statesman.
