outgoing person. even as a child it was striking. we liked having him as a son. it was great fun. we did things together. he grew up into somebody who as well as being my son is very much my best friend. and i keep encountering things where i want to talk to him about something and then i have to say, oh gosh. i can't. so what do i do? he loved to work with people. he was cheery. he was outgoing. he was curious. i don't -- you know i don't know where to end. >> the event, it sounds as though you probably could go on for days about what a wonderful man. >> no. i could go -- and one of the

things i'm going to be doing, frankly, for the rest of my life is helping people remember gabe. >> the congress on your corner event was an event he fully embraced. why was he such a wonderful public servant and why was public service so important to him? >> that's interesting. he was you know -- he comes from a family where we're outgoing people who like to connect with other people. his mom emily headed the social services department for the city of tucson. i honestly like people and have a rapport with people and like learning about them. i was asking your folks here about their lives while we were waiting. and gabe just always connected

with people. he majored in sociology in college but then when he got back here he ended up working with disturbed children and then going to the asu school of social work. and at the end of that when gabrielle wanted to campaign for office, he wanted to also convert interests in helping people to positive good. it seemed like a natural fit. she was a wonderful person stood for the kind of things that he liked. he worked on her campaign. an enthen was asked to join her district office staff. >> mr. zimmermann? >> yes, sir? >> your son sounds like a wonderful, wonderful young man. we thank you for taking the time and sharing a little bit about him with us here this morning.

>> thank you. >> best to you. all right. now here's erica. this morning, nearly one week after that shooting in tucson washington is still feeling the political aftershocks. joining us this morning from washington with his perspective is political analyst john dickerson. good morning to you. this has been political honestly since it happened on saturday. on wednesday night, the president, of course calling for a little bit of a pause. saying we need a change in discourse, words that heal and not wound and feels like in the short term there's been a bit of a dialing back. is this civility going to last? >> well, it's the big question. there will be one small test next week as house republicans bring up the repeal of the health care bill. what used to be called the job-killing health care bill and now of course operates in a much different context and democrats, too, who had planned to fight

the republican effort tooth and nail with all of the usual tactics, all of the ran kor and bitterness that the president addressed they have to recalibrate their plans so we'll get the little test next week. >> so that's a little bit that first test there. this -- everything about this though, because it's political as we mentioned when the spoke with that speech on wednesday night, near universal praise coming from both sides here. so next week is one step but can the president make that i guess, goodwill for lack of a better word last past the state of the union in a couple of weeks? >> that's the question. the president is one actor in this and after the state of the union both parties will have to have to engage in an issue where they have to cooperate. health care will be a bit of a side show because it won't really go anywhere after the house does its work on that bill but on the budget, on lifting the debt ceiling on some of

these other issues, there will be have to be actual cooperation and the president will have to do his part and met in that by republicans. >> and there will be perhaps an extra well-trained eye all of that because of this tragedy and everything that happened since. sarah palin when this happened was on the receiving end of the criticism and from the beginning and came out with a very long statement on wednesday. four days to craft that message. and yet, she received a lot of criticism from both sides. is she seen as a candidate for 2012 and miss an opportunity here? >> well, she was criticized in the beginning by liberals who had tried to tie her and blame her for creating the conditions that led to the shooting and so her statement was really trying to push back against the idea that she was somehow responsible for these murders. and the difficulty for in that statement was on the one hand pushing back against that ugly charge and on the other hand trying to speak to the moment that the president so

eloquently spoke to in his speech and those two tasks she did not meet by as you say reviews on both sides. it was not her best moment. >> we will continue to watch this and, john we know you'll continue to help keep an eye on it for us as we see where it goes. john dickerson in washington this morning, thanks. >> thanks. now a little bit more news this morning and over to jeff glor at the news desk for us this morning. >> good friday morning and to everyone at home. pope john paul ii a step closer to sainthood after the successor signed off on a miracle a attributed to john paul. mark phillips from london has more details on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. the catholic church has a rigorous process for creating saints. saintly life has to be certified. john paul ii pope for 27 years and only been dead for 5 but his progress towards sainthood is

proceeding for the church at least at breakneck speed. it normally takes centuries for major church figures to reach sainthood and join the saintly statues on the thatted is of st. peter's basilica. the approval for the last step before sainthood came after the veteran's congregation for the causes of saints unanimously approved a miracle attributed to john paul ii. the healing of a french nun suffering from parkinson's disease. an illness from which john paul also suffered. once beautified he will be referred to as blessed. one more miracle must be documented. he's partway there, a decree of heroic virtue certifying him as living a holy life was signed two years ago authorized john paul to be referred to as venerable. the process of creating a saint

doesn't usually begin until five years after a candidate's death but for john paul the chant "sainthood now" rose from the mourners at his funeral. there is some dissent. groups protesting the catholic church's child abuse scandal urging the church to slow down the process but the current pope seems determined to charge ahead with the canonization of the extremely popular predecessor. the ceremony will be may 1st. jeff? >> mark phillips in london thanks. rain expected in southeastern brazil. rescuers were able to save this woman yesterday but not her dog. nearly 480 people killed following days of rushing water and mudslides. 14,000 people left their homes and many washed away. government officials call it one of the worst natural disasters of brazil.

the east is beginning another bitterly cold day. snow and frigid temperatures settled in. elaine quijano is in times square this morning in new york. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. deep south to northern new england much of the half of the nation is in the grip of a one-two punch. heavy snow and bitter cold. >> straighten your wheel. >> reporter: in the southeast cold temperatures did little to melt the dangerous glaze of snow and ice. many schools in and around atlanta closed for a fifth straight day today because it's too dangerous to travel. >> this whole road right here is a complete sheet of ice and been pretty bad. >> reporter: snow may have helped a father and son walk away from a small plane crash in connecticut last night. their plane experienced engine trouble, crashed into the backyard of a home and landed upside down. police say the snow cushioned their fall. >> said it was soft as a pillow. put the plane right now down in the snow and soft safe landing.

>> reporter: crews in massachusetts brought in heavy machinery to clear snow from the parking lots around jill let stadium in time for sunday's playoff game between the patriot patriots and the jets. inside the stadium itself it's old-fashioned back-breaking shoveling. >> we have 300 snow shovellers today working several shifts and happening again tomorrow. >> reporter: and just how unusually cold is it in the south? take a look at this. atlanta's average january low temperature is about 34 degrees. but last yigt the low got down to 21. jackson, mississippi, 23. and chattanooga,
