Please Pray for Barack and his Family
Just broke on MSNBC, broken by David Schuster. I will update as news becomes available.
Part of AP report
Barack Obama says that his grandmother has died. The Democratic presidential candidate announced the news in a joint statement with his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng. He said his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, had died peacefully after a battle with cancer.
He said: "She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility. She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances.

If one freeper says anything about this being political, I think I will go crazy. I swear.
Also, I would like to point out that toot will still be able to see Barack from heaven.
Everyone, please feel welcome to post pictures of toot and candles and other things here. Toot was part of our extended family.
Thank you for sending Toot to the rec list. This is not my diary. This is Toot's diary, for us and by us.
Late Update:
"She has gone home." She died peacefully in her sleep with my sister at her side. There is great joy as well as tears." It is hard to talk about." "She was a quiet hero." he compared her to people all over the country to are doing the right thing to get by, struggling and sacrificing to support their families and watching their children/grandchildren/great grandchildren prosper. He said in "one more day we can honor those quiet heroes"
