RIP Beau

You know we can't vote for Obama?
Why?
I like him.
He's running with Joe Biden.
But we like Joe, he's been great for our state.
You know if Obama is elected,they will shoot him.
Joe might be shot with him.
I don't want Joe to die.
You are right I didn't think about that.
We can't vote for Obama.
..............
Delaware loves Joe,probably more than any state citizens have ever loved a politician.
Stay safe Obama/ Biden, you still have a way to go.
Go home to Delaware when the term is over,Joe.

(24,605 posts)We weep for this family. I lost my nephew two years ago to a brain tumor at almost the same age as Beau. Nasty disease and it fells so many in the prime of life.

(1,979 posts)I join with all who are saddened by the passing of Beau and offer my heartfelt condolences to Joe, Jill and the family. May you find peace and know that while Beau is physically gone from his earthly destiny, he will never be more than a thought or prayer away.
Poor Joe, he has endured so much.
Shine on Beau,
