Obama’s Grandmother Has Passed Away
November 3, 2008 / Posted by: Michael K
Obama’s memaw, Madelyn Dunham, died today in Hawaii after a battle with cancer. Obama’s family issued 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.”
Just a day before the election…… Sadness.
