How terribly sad. 
before I do. My heart goes out to Virginia Senator Mark Warner and Lisa Collis .
My parents had to bury 3 of their kids. Two were my Type 1/Juvenile Diabetic sisters. I know the sorrow Sen. Warner and his wife feel from watching someone you love just losing at life. Their time is never easy.
