Reply To: Boruch Dayan Emes: Madelyn Payne Dunham

Dear Senator Obama:

My sincere condolences upon the tragic loss of your beloved maternal grandmother, Madelyn P. Dunham. How hard it must be for you to lose here so close to the US Presidential Elections! At a time when you should be tentatively joyous and hopeful, you are cruelly forced to mourn on a prominent figure in your life. May she and your parents, Barack H. Obama and S. Ann Dunham, rejoice tomorrow upon your victory.

My heartfelt sympathy, and best wishes for your electoral success,

D.E.
