Our heart goes out to Barack Obama and his family.
Madelyn Dunham, Barack Obama’s beloved maternal grandmother has died.
She was 86-years old.
Barack and his sister released the following statement about the passing of their Toot:
“It is with great sadness that we announce that our grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died peacefully after a battle with cancer. She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility.”
The Kansan helped raise Barack from the age of 10 while his mother was working in Indonesia.
We’re so glad that the Presidential hopeful took some time off the campaign trail recently to spend time with her.
We’re so sad that she died just a day short of Election Day.
R.I.P. Madelyn Dunham.
