Joe Biden's mother-in-law died this afternoon.

"The Obama-Biden campaign today canceled Sen. Biden's schedule Monday and Tuesday because of the passing of Jill Biden's mother, Bonny Jean Jacobs, this afternoon after a long illness," Biden spokesman David Wade said in a statement.

Our condolences to the Biden family.

    My condolences.  May she rest in peace.
