yermom Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I was bummed to hear about this this morning. I knew she was ill but I thought she was going to be okay and we'd see her at Obama's inauguration. If you feel really compelled, I imagine condolence cards send to this address might still find their way to her family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
