My heart and the hearts of my entire family go out to Vice President Joe Biden and his family on the tragic loss of his son, Beau Biden. As a mother of children about Beau's age I know that this is the age when our children are coming fully into their own and Beau Biden was already there. He was a skilled attorney general, a promising candidate for Governor, and above all an extraordinarily loving family member. The Vice President has suffered too many losses in his lifetime and each one has cut deep. I hope he knows that all of us who love him are praying that his faith and the deep love of his family will see him through this tragic loss. I know the people of California join me in sending the deepest condolences to the Biden family. ____________________
