Vice President President Joe Biden announced the passing of his son, Beau Biden, in a statement released by the White House.
"It is with broken hearts that Hallie, Hunter, Ashley, Jill and I announce the passing of our husband, brother and son, Beau, after he battled brain cancer with the same integrity, courage and strength he demonstrated every day of his life," reads the statement from Vice President Biden.
"The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words. We know that Beau’s spirit will live on in all of us—especially through his brave wife, Hallie, and two remarkable children, Natalie and Hunter.

No parent should have to bury a child. Very sorry for their loss.
Why would you? You've come to a condolence thread to make damn sure your political points are scored in exactly the same way that they go to a funeral for maximum publicity.
You couldn't have made your points about pro-choice Catholics on another thread? You just had to shit in the punchbowl?
A young man has died, an Iraq combat veteran, leaving a grieving father, widow, and children. You really should be ashamed.
Beau Biden was a Democrat, therefore a supporter of sucking out babies’ brains.
That’s just my point: You think it’s NORMAL for our country to have a political party that defends and promotes the sucking out of babies’ brains. You think that’s a “political” opinion.
I say: No business as usual as long as babies are being murdered under color of law. The very least I can do is keep bringing it up.

Baby-killers don’t DESERVE to enjoy a punchbowl in peace. They must have no peace.
Beau’s life began with a terrible tragedy. His mother was driving with a 3 year old, a 2 year old, and a baby. Her car was hit by a truck killing her and the baby, and injuring her two boys. Beau, age 3, had a broken leg and other injuries. I wonder how much this tragedy, losing mother, baby sister, and health affected his brain and made him more susceptible to the cancer. More info below.

I may not like Joe or his politics, but it is a GOD awful thing to have to watch one of your children die before you.
My condolences and prayers for the Biden family.
Westboro.
I’m not fan of Joe’s either but I will pray for the family that they get by this tragedy ok.
Get off the thread and stay off!
Two years ago I lost my best friend to inoperable brain cancer.
This is reminding me how, year after year, there are graduating kids on TV who are going on to college, claiming they want to cure cancer.
Year, after year, after year, after year, this TIME of year, etc. etc. etc.
It’s been years that I heard it said that if cancer were cured, think of all the related jobs that would dry up - - the many buildings devoted to cancer research - - etc. etc. - - hmmmmmm
Meanwhile, I am prone to believe it is the immune system that attacks cancer, therefore we should keep this system well boosted.
As human beings we SHOULD all be critical; we CAN all be despicable and spiteful, we are human.
What we ALL must guard against is being JUDGEMENTAL.
That belongs only to GOD.
Thank you. It is no fun losing a child and I do not care who the parents. are. It has been 11 years since my daughter died from complications of Crohn’s Disease but in some ways it seems like only yesterday. We will always miss her. So, thanks again.
It was brutal. There have been advances in early detection and treatment of ovarian cancer since then, but not enough. A diagnosis is still a death warrant, with few exceptions.
Your point about the immune system is interesting. I'm certain there is some truth to it. Compounding matters for cancer patients is that the treatment often virtually destroys the immune system, leaving very sick people very exposed to secondary illness. My poor mother lasted only a year after diagnosis... she beat the odds, believe it or not... but was continually sick with colds, flu, infections. Of course, treatments are at hospitals, so the exposure is continual. I remember when I flew to see her after her treatment, my dad made me strip to my skin in the garage and put my clothes in the washing machine before I could enter the house. Then I had to take a hot shower with antibacterial soap before I could even hug my mother.
SEMPER FIDELIS.
Beau Biden, son of Vice President Joe Biden, dies of brain cancer
I’m so sorry. God bless.
Yes, the current cancer treatments most likely destroy the immune system.
Fortunate are those who survive it all.
This is one of those times when organic foods should be considered, for sure.
Vicious circle/cycle, isn’t it.
So sorry about your mother.
How did I hear the word ‘disease’ described years ago - ??
Oh - right: Dis - ease . . . . interesting - - -
Consider Googling ‘Mycho Phyto Complex,’ by Advanced Bionutritionals. This is the only brand I can vouch for. I/we have stopped illnesses in their tracks. Read their claims.
HowEVer, do NOT take just 1 capsule at a time, except for maintenance when well. (one a day, like a vitamin)! I take many the first 24 hours.
Four, every 4 hours for 12 hours at least, then taper.
The product isn’t cheap, but illness is ‘expensive,’ so we consider this prodct worth every penny.
Many of our grandkids have parents who give them this product - our recommendation, of course!
Thanks for sharing what you did.
I just got home and couldn’t believe it. I didn’t know he had a sick son. heartbreaking.
