For Immediate Release July 08, 2011 Statement from Vice President Biden on Betty Ford

It is with deep sadness that Jill and I learned of the loss of Betty Ford.

Her legacy and work will live on through the millions of lives she has touched and the many more who will continue to look to her for inspiration. Her family will remain in our thoughts and prayers in the coming days.
