Barack Obama's grandmother has died.
"It is with great sadness that we announce that our grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died peacefully after a battle with cancer," Obama said in a joint statement with his sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng. "She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility."
It would have been so nice for her to have been able to last just a few more days.
Those who know me personally are saying the same thing about Gene. Know that I'm think of you, Q family.
