'It's tough to bury your child': Senator John McCain's death was a 'big blow' for his 106-year-old mother Roberta
Sen. John McCain's mother Roberta is very proud of her son's illustrious political career and says her son made a lasting impact on countless people
Roberta McCain, late Senator John McCain's 106-year-old mother, said her son made a lasting impact on countless people before his death, especially her.
In a conversation with People, a close friend of the McCain family said that Roberta is "incredibly proud" of her son — a longstanding politician and war hero who recently lost his battle to stage-four brain cancer at the ripe age of 81. “Roberta was his biggest supporter and the leader of his fan club. She was incredibly proud of him,” the source says. “His mommy loved him. He knew that.”
The source further pointed out that, although Roberta is grieving the loss of her son, she “is a very strong woman,” especially considering her age.
