I am sorry to hear Barak Obama's grandmother wont be here to see him elected president. I hope Sen. Obama feels the support of the Country behind him.
Obviously his visit to see her a few weeks ago was the right thing to
do... the man's priorities are in the right order.
My sincere condolences to Senator Obama and his family. Please feel the strength from all of us to carry you through this time of sorrow, obligations and victory in making this country a better place. Your grandmother and other dear ones are watching down upon you and win or lose this election, you are an inspiration to all of your family and all of us. God bless you.
I join with those others here at TWN in expressing my condolences on the death of Senator Obama's grandmother. How terribly sad this must be for him and his family.
Hopefully his faith in the American people will be vindicated tomorrow.
I am so saddened to hear of Senator Obama's grandmothers passing. I feel as though I know her after hearing Senator Obama speak so often and lovingly of her. She has indeed raised an exceptionaly fine man, and I know she died very proud of her grandson. I'm sure she will be looking down from heaven tomorrow to watch him go from Senator to President. God bless the family and may peace and love fill your hearts.
Dear Senator Obama;
My condolences on the loss of your grandmother, sir.
God Bless you and your family at this time of bereavement, may God comfort you, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Be well, sir.

My sincerest condolences upon the loss of your grandmother. My grandmother was also a major influence in my life, and I do understand the loss you are feeling at the present.
I wish you and your family the best at this pressue-filled time in your life. I admire you as a person, as a senator, and hopefully you will be out next president.
God speed, and remember that this family's warm and loving thoughts are with you during this tremendous loss and your hard work to become our next president!
I am so sorry for the loss of his grandmother. There are not any words that I can say; but,I will pray for your strength and wisdom during this sad time.
SENATOR OBAMA MYSELF AND FAMILY IS SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR GRANDMOTHER WHO WAS LIKE A MOTHER TO YOU.WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO GET THROUGH DURING THIS SAD TIME.I CAN IMAGINE WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I LOST MY MOM 19 YEARS AGO AND STILL MISSES HER A LOT.MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVING FAMILY.
As with all of the readers of TWN, our condolences to the relatives of Ms. Dunham and to Barack Obama who would have liked to have passed his finish line with his grandmother seeing him do it in this world.
The best thing people can do to honor the memory of Obama's grandmother today is to call the local campaign, especially in battleground states, find the nearest staging location, and volunteer.
The GOTV (Get out the Vote) campaign will go on until the last person in line votes. We are not allowed to talk to voters about preferences or their votes or even indicate that we are for Obama, but we will be there to encourage people not to leave the lines--handing out bottled water, energy bars, chips, apples--helping amuse kids their parents brought, helping older and disabled people to the head of the line (Laws differ but most states have provisions for this.)
our thoughts are with you and your family..
also from the netherlands we pay our sincere condolences to senator Obama with the lost of his grandmother.
I want to offer my condolences to Senator Obama on the loss of his grandmother. It's so sad, only one day... But love is so strong - I think, she knew all, what's important.

Dear Mr. President and First Lady(I'm positive this will happen)
I am truly saddened for the loss of your grandmother. I know how much you loved her but know that she is in heaven watching over you to protect and guide you. I truly believe when you were born that you were God's chosen one and you will succeed no matter what because God has his love all around you and Michelle. God Bless and Best Wishes in the Whitehouse.

I am very sorry for the loss of your grandmother.She had a very special request to ask of God and the only place she could do it was with God to ask in person. Cherish her memory. Sincerest condolences. I just lost my father and I feel some of your pain. My prayers are with both you and your family.
I was very sorry to hear of the loss of your grandmother. Your grandmother had a special so she decided to leave on 3 Nov 08, to speak to God in person for your victory. God Bless you and your family at this time of bereavement, may God comfort you, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
