Maggie Daley, the wife of former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and a gracious promoter of the city's cultural and educational programs, has died. She was 69. (born July 1943)

Maggie Daley, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, died Thursday night, family spokeswoman Jacquelyn Heard told The Associated Press. Daley had been a reserved and dignified presence at her husband's side during his 22 eventful years as mayor.

When she first learned she had breast cancer in June 2002, Daley said she was shocked. "But you pick up and you move on. ... I'm not alone here. There are a lot of people who have experienced this," Daley said in the weeks after the diagnosis.

Good post. Don’t forget the ghostwritten “Profiles in Courage”.

BUMP what you said.
It is little wonder Clinton modeled himself after Kennedy, morals-wise.

God Bless President Kennedy. He was far from perfect and was misguided in a few areas.

My previous post obviously should have been addressed to you.

Our current President makes [Kennedy] look like George Washington.

Let's face it, the Wee Wee is the worse government official since Caligula appointed his horse to the Roman Senate. That pathetic idiot Obozo makes just about everyone look like George Washington.

I didn’t know her personally, and neither did you, but it’s just embarrassing when FReepers say crap like that.

Exactly what did I say in that post was untrue?

Do you accept feigned ignorance? Do you admire it?

None of us is perfect yet we are all God’s children, and when it comes to the kind of judgement you are passing out on someone’s wife and mother, that is WAY above your paygrade.

Unlike others on this thread, I did not nor do I purport to judge whether or not a person is destined for heaven or hell when they die. That is indeed beyond my pay grade. However, as a Christian, I have a duty to speak out against sin.

have you ever watched a human being die of cancer ?

I have.

Have you ever watched a human life just thin and waste into nothingness ?

I have

you need to look in the mirror. and then ask yourself some very serious questions about your humanity and spiritual health.
