Thousands paid their respects to former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden on Friday.
Biden, the oldest son of Vice President Joe Biden, died last week after a battle with brain cancer. He was 46.
Mourners began gathering outside St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church here nearly two hours before the wake began at 1 p.m., forming a line that eventually spanned roughly five city blocks over the course of the day.
"Anybody that wanted to talk to Beau, he took the time to talk to you and listen to you," said Faith Green as she waited to enter the church where Biden's flag-draped casket sat. Green worked for Beau Biden as well as on one of his father's earlier campaigns.
Some people waited five hours just to get into see the casket. According to people inside the room, the vice president shook everyone's hand as they moved past the casket. One woman said the vice president apologized that the wait was so long but thanked them for coming.
My heart goes out to, Joe, Jill and the family.
FYI.
Righties: please be human beings for just one single day and not flame. Thanks.
