VP Joe Biden loses Son to Brain Cancer

[zookeeper]

Vice President Joe Biden's son, Beau, has died of brain cancer at age 46.

For those that don't know, Biden lost his wife and an 18 month old daughter in a car crash (that seriously injured Beau), just a month after he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972 at age 30. The Vice President has suffered horribly - a wife and now two children.

Thoughts and prayers to the Biden family.

[Tritone]

He has taken some tough hits, as have so many. He's in my prayers.

[Lord Helmet]

There are few things that EVERYONE can agree on...but I would imagine that we ALL agree that cancer flat out SUCKS.

My father died of brain cancer when I was a senior in college.

It's a horrible, horrible way to go, both for the patient and the family.


Great sympathies to the Biden family.
