John McCain's 106-year-old mother Roberta puts on a brave face as she attends her son's memorial service
The grieving mother looked visibly upset, and as she wheeled herself towards her son's casket, where she even made a cross with her hands over the casket blessing his final journey
It was quite a somber day at Washington D.C. as friends and family members of the late Senator John McCain said their goodbyes to him on Friday, August 31 at the US Capital, where he was laid in state. However, the most touching part of the entire memorial service was when his mother, 106-year-old Roberta McCain paid her final respects to her son. The grieving mother looked visibly upset, and as she wheeled herself towards her son's casket, where she even made a cross with her hands over the casket, while also saying her final goodbyes to her son. Roberta, a mother-of-three, was married to military serviceman John S. McCain Jr. until he passed away in 1981.
