1. WAY too young

2. He Called His Father, His Hero....

WOW! My Dad was my Hero too. RIP Beau!

Deepest sympathy for the Biden Family this evening and especially for Beau's Hero, Joe!

7. Considering what they went through at such a young age with the accident

he and his brother Hunter were both in the car that killed his mother and sister. Joe had just been elected US senator and was ready to give it up so he could stay home and raise the boys. It was Ted Kennedy that convinced Joe to stay and thank goodness Delaware is so close to DC so Joe could go home at nights.

4. I remember that speech

and it's as moving now as it was then..actually moreso. What a great family that has certainly experienced more than its fair share of misfortune and heartache.

5. I don't know how much heartache a person can stand.

Joe Biden has had his share and then some. I am glad Beau lived to see his father, his hero, ascend to the Vice Presidency. Twice. RIP, Beau. You were loved.
