President Barack Obama on Saturday addressed a full Catholic Mass honoring Beau Biden in Wilmington, Delaware.
Vice-president Joe Biden’s two surviving children – Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden – also spoke to remember their brother, who died of brain cancer last week at the age of 46.
After delivering the eulogy, Obama embraced Joe Biden warmly at the front of the church, and kissed him on the cheek.
Beau Biden “did not have a mean bone in his body” and was the consummate public servant and family man, Obama said.
With tears in his eyes and an occasional slight tremor in his voice, Obama said Biden had “shoulders broad enough not only to bear your own burdens but the burdens of others”. » | Joanna Walters in New York | Saturday, June 06, 2015
