In Loving Memory of "Toot"

Our sincerest condolences to Barack Obama and his family in their time of loss.

It saddened me to hear this news. I hoped his grandmother would witness the 44th presidential election. Obama made history in so many ways; from using the advancements in technology in his election to getting the support and votes of young people to bridging the differences between the two major political parties.

The day before the election Obama learned about his grandmother's death. It was amazing to see him at the podium the night he won. He was strong, purposeful and humbled.

I know his grandmother would have been proud that he was elected the 44th President of the United States of America.
