EXCERPT:
One of the most painful experiences any parent can have is outliving their child.
On Monday, U.S. Senator Mark Warner announced his 36-year-old daughter had died.
Warner made the announcement on X and shared that his daughter, Madison, died after suffering a decades-long health battle.
The Hill reported on the cause of the death:
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) on Monday announced the death of his 36-year-old daughter, who had suffered from juvenile diabetes.
“We are heartbroken beyond words by the passing of our beloved daughter, Madison, 36, after a decades-long battle with juvenile diabetes and other health issues. She filled our lives with love and laughter, and her absence leaves an immeasurable void,” Warner and his wife, Lisa Collins, posted in a statement on X.
“We are grateful for the loving support of friends and family during this difficult time and ask for privacy as we navigate this profound loss,” he added.
Madison is survived by two younger sisters. The three were introduced to the political spotlight in 2001 when Warner was elected governor of Virginia.
