jamila thompson told us what she and the rest of john lewis' congressional staff would miss the most.that that's what i'm going to miss the most. i'm going to miss his laugh. and not the one that you see on television. no. but the one where he would be sitting back and shooting the wind and he would throw back his hand and he would just laugh from his heart, from his belly, from his soul. >> of course, even john lewis' laugh came from his soul. when a staff is lucky enough to be working for a member of congress who they love, they become family. and over the years as those staffers move on and are replaced, the family gets bigger and bigger. no matter how many years go by from when you worked on that staff, you are still part of that family. the john lewis staff is going to be having family reunions for the rest of their lives and don't be surprised when they get together if it feels like you are listening to john lewis. >> he created this space. he created this family. as a staff, we are heard broken. we are lost. but we know that the work continues, the fight remains and we cannot,
