A legend is gone.

DALLAS (AP) - Tom Landry's friends and fellow
churchgoers at Highland Park United Methodist Church
remembered him Sunday as a devout Christian who
learned how to appreciate life and taught others to do the
same.

The Rev. Mark Craig focused his sermon on making
memories. The theme was based on a sermon Landry
gave several years ago, one Craig called the best he'd
ever heard.

''He talked about joys and pain and happiness,'' Craig
told more than 1,000 worshippers. ''Through all the good
and the bad he said he was thankful God gave him
another day. If you want great memories, you need to live
each day fully and thank God for another day.''

Landry died around 6 p.m. Saturday at Baylor University
Medical Center surrounded by his immediate family. He
was 75 and had been fighting a form of leukemia since
May.

He talked about his accomplishments in life modestly,
which is hard to do,'' Craig said. ''He talked of winning
one Super Bowl and then a second. And then he stopped
and said it was nothing. He said it wasn't until he realized
how great God was and what God did in his life that he
lived.

'In a world of celebrity and ego, coach Landry was really
a man of faith, character, integrity and dignity,''
