Joe Biden marked a solemn anniversary on Friday, visiting the gravesites of his first wife, Neilia, and his daughter Naomi, who were killed in a catastrophic crash 48 years ago, weeks after Biden was first elected to the Senate.
The president-elect, 78, visited their graves at a cemetery outside of St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church, in Wilmington, Delaware.
He was joined by wife Dr. Jill Biden, the incoming first lady; and their daughter, Ashley Biden, 39, and her husband, oncologist Howard Krein.
The Bidens attended morning Mass together before walking out to visit the cemetery, according to The Associated Press.
