(WILMINGTON, DEL.) - Joe Biden has cancelled his events for early this week after the passing of his mother in law.

"The Obama-Biden campaign today cancelled Sen. Biden's schedule Monday and Tuesday because of the passing of Jill Biden's mother, Bonny Jean Jacobs, this afternoon after a long illness," Biden spokesman David Wade wrote in an e-mail to the press.

"Other details will follow, but we appreciate everyone's respect for the family's privacy during this difficult time."

Sincerest condolences to the Biden family.

I’ve always liked the guy, although I disagree with his politics.
