CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Reuters) - A subdued Barack Obama on Monday mourned his grandmother as a "quiet hero" who helped raise him, telling a campaign rally that her death had made the final night of his White House campaign "bittersweet."
As the Democratic candidate arrived in North Carolina for his second-to-last rally before Tuesday's election, he announced that Madelyn Dunham, 86, had died peacefully at her home in Honolulu after a battle with cancer.
