Obama’s Grandmother Dies

Tags: , ,

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s grandmother Madelyn Dunham died today at 86.

Last month, Obama suspended his campaign for two days to be with his cancer-stricken grandmother who was very ill.

Obama and his sister released this statement: “She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility. She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances. She was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and left this world with the knowledge that her impact on all of us was meaningful and enduring. Our debt to her is beyond measure.”

Im sorry for your lost, and the fact that she only had a couple of days to see you make history (because we all know that its gonna happen), but from what you and your sister said, she helped you thus far, and just know that she will continue too, just in spirit now. I will also continue to pray for you and you family. You all have my deepest sympathy. 1lvu, Destiny W.
