He did the right thing to visit her, even as it took him off the campaign trail. Condolences to the Dunham/Obama family.

dear Mallika,
Barack Obama really loved his grandmother, you could always see this when he would speak of her. She nurtured him with care, encouragement and deep love.
It is bittersweet that she has died on the eve of his most amazing run for the Presidency.
I am sure she knew the country was backing him in historic fashion. Her pride must have been unbounded.
love,
~ Kate
Well said, Mallika. Thank you for the sentiments.
Grandmother Madelyn is with us from invisible Angelic realm...as we turn the tide and page in this realm. We can carry her in our hearts as well as her great son -- soon to be president.
It's good to be together on this grand day.
Trish~~
