He was 44. A family spokesman says Tolbert died Sunday night in Las Vegas of a massive heart attack. Tolbert was on leave from his job as the chief lobbyist for New York City's public schools at the state capital in Albany to work for the Democratic presidential nominee. He had previously worked as chief of staff to Democratic state Assemblyman Keith Wright and in other government posts. Bloomberg, who has switched his registration from Democratic to Republican to independent, called Tolbert one of the most hardworking people in the world and also one of the most likable. http://wcbstv.com/topstories/nevada.terence.tolbert.2.855160.html On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 6:24 PM, Wilma de Soto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Craig, > > It's remarkable that you were able to rise above politics, (sort of), to > send condolences to the Obama family at this time. > > His mother died of the same disease that also took my sister. > > It doesn't matter as much whether or not she helped raised him; rather that > she's his flesh and blood and very dear to him, as our grandmothers are to > us. > > > > On 11/3/08 5:08 PM, "Craig Obama" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > As despicable a politician as I believe B H Obama to be; there is always > a special place for Grandmoms who step-up to raise their grandchildren. > > May we soon find a cure for cancer to better life for all human beings. > > May Mdelyn Dunhame find peace and join her saved family members. > > Ciao, > > Craig > > *Barack Obama > **Obama's Grandmother Dies > * > *By Shailagh Murray > *CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A tragic turn of events for Sen.
