"Congress and the Country join Utah in mourning the passing of former Senator Orrin Hatch.
The longest-serving Republican in the Senate's history, he devoted more than four decades to public service -- often working across the aisle on behalf of America's families.
May it be a comfort to his wife Elaine, their six beloved children and their many grandchildren and great-grandchildren that so many pray for them at this sad time."
