The remarks featured some stirring memorialization of the South Carolina senator, such as noting that he is \u201csitting, laying, wherever he may be \u2014 I think I know where he is, I think he\u2019s up there and watching us.

He was a tough cookie, I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tDuring the rest of the service, Trump veered even further from his script, which probably didn\u2019t involve falling asleep during the proceedings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tKeep those eyes open!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tStill, for the moments he was awake, Trump showed generosity to his fellow man.
