On the 30-th of May Vice President Biden lost his son Beau Biden due to cancer.
I feel very sorry and saddened for him, for his family, his loved ones and friends who mourn his loss together with all the American people. My thoughts and prayers are with them. May Beau Biden their beloved son, husband, brother and friend and a true American patriot who dedicated his life to the service of the country he loved and its people rest in peace. May God give comfort and watch over all those who grieve his loss and may God bless them all and may God continue to bless the United States of America the country they love and that I love dearly.

"It becomes increasingly easy to rationalize our actions in the name of expediency when facing difficult decisions — to choose a path where the ends justify the means. I want to ask you to challenge Machiavelli’s philosophy. I want to humbly suggest that you be the guardians of a more complicated truth: that the means are as important — and sometimes even more important — than the ends."
Please offer your thoughts and prayers with the Biden family:

President Obama delivers a eulogy in honor of Beau Biden, a dedicated son, husband, father, and public servant, at St. Anthony of Padua R.C. Church in Wilmington, DE. June 6, 2015
“Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire,” said Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. “But, above all, we have learned that whether a man accepts from Fortune her spade, and will look downward and dig, or from Aspiration her axe and cord, and will scale the ice, the one and only success which it is his to command is to bring to his work a mighty heart.” Beau Biden brought to his work a mighty heart. He brought to his family a mighty heart. What a good man. What an original. May God bless his memory, and the lives of all he touched."
