CARICOM extends sympathy to US Vice President

On behalf of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Secretary-General Ambassador Irwin LaRocque has extended sympathy to United States Vice President, Joe Biden, on the loss of his son, Beau Biden.

Mere words are scarce comfort to a parent who has lost a child.  However, the knowledge that that child has had a fulfilling life, brimming with achievement can be of solace in this difficult time,” Secretary-General LaRocque said in a Condolence Message to the Vice President.

The text of the message reads:

 It is with great regret that we in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) have learnt of the passing of your son Beau Biden.

Mere words are scarce comfort to a parent who has lost a child.  However, the knowledge that that child has had a fulfilling life, brimming with achievement can be of solace in this difficult time.

Mr. Vice President, please accept on my behalf and on behalf of the entire Caribbean Community, our deepest condolences at your loss and be certain that we are with you and your family in spirit as you grieve.
