Madam President, 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. ____________________
