Oldest Durbin Daughter Passes

Our condolences go out this evening to the family of Sen. Dick Durbin as Christine Durbin, the Senator's oldest of three daughters, died from from complications to a congenital heart condition. She was 40 years old. A worker in the Department of Agriculture's emerging markets division, she is survived by her husband and son. The Senator's office issued a statement saying, "Chris Durbin, 40, fought a heroic, lifelong battle with heart disease and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Durbin family." The office also said funeral arrangements were still pending.
