Ann Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 So very sad.....such an untimely passing. My prayers are for this family. "She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility," their statement said. "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." Obama and Soetoro-Ng asked that donations be made for the search for a cure for cancer in lieu of flowers. A small private ceremony will be held "at a later date."

recce101 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 So glad Barack was able to spend time with her a few days ago — the doctors said she might not last till the election. She was quite a lady. Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
