Beau Biden Passes Away at 46

[crazyforkate]

B. Biden seems like he was a really great guy, dedicated and compassionate. What a terrible loss, a young man of 46. And what a sad time for the family he's left behind.

It's also so sad that the vice-president has now been predeceased by two of his four children. The Biden family has been through so much pain.

I'm relieved to see that, apart from a few stragglers, politicians and commenters alike seem to have risen above politics in this case. The death of someone's child is no time for such things.

Thank you, crazyforkate. I'd just come here to post this very sad news. My heart breaks for Joe and all the Biden family.

R.I.P, Beau.

Cyber hugs and deep sympathy to the Bidens. No one expects to outlive their kids.

Having lost a child myself, I find I just want to reach out and smother the parents with hugs and boxes of tissues. It's hard to bury a child.
