Does anyone have a quote from Daniel Tani?

Question

I need a good quote from the astronaut Daniel Tani from Lombard, Illinois. I cannot find one anywhere and it's driving me crazy. I'm pretty much out of ideas as to where I can look, any ideas?

In December, 2007, the following statement was made by Daniel Tani, NASA astronaut and Expedition 16 flight engineer on the International Space Station, regarding the death of his mother while he was in space:

"I would like to thank everyone who has expressed their condolences during this time of grieving for me and my family. Living on the space station means that I experience all aspects of life -- be they joyous or tragic -- while circling the Earth without a convenient way to return. Of course, I was aware of this situation before my mission and I fully accept that I will proudly complete my mission on the International Space Station and join my family when I return... My mother was a complete joy. Those who knew her will know that words cannot describe her vitality, generosity and warmth. She was my hero. We will all miss her dearly...."
