In a sad turn of events, future President Barack Obama announced today that his grandmother died last night.
“She’s gone home… And she died peacefully in her sleep with my sister at her side. And so there is great joy as well as tears. I’m not going to talk about it too long because it is hard for me to talk about.”
Barack Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, was 86 and died in her sleep overnight. She had been battling with cancer. Obama had said when he temporarily suspended his campaign to visit with her that he hoped she would make it through election day to see him elected President of the United States. Unfortunately, Mrs. Dunham did not make it and died just one day before the election.
Obama has spoken of his grandmother often throughout the primaries and the presidential campaign. He has said that she was the one that shaped him into the man that he has become. We have say that she definitely did an excellent job. Our condolences go out with warm hearts to Barack and his family. We are sure that if there is a God she will witness his victory from the heavens. Many blessings to Barack Obama, his family, our country and the world.
