Biden schrieb den Kindern auch einen persönlichen Brief, der den Autoren vorliegt:
Liebe Familie Manlove, im Namen der gesamten Familie Biden möchten ich Ihnen mein tiefstes Mitgefühl wegen des plötzlichen Todes Ihrer geliebten Angehörigen Elaine and Wayne aussprechen. Der Verlust macht uns fassungslos, und mit uns sehr viele Menschen in Delaware.
Elaine war eine liebevolle Ehefrau, Mutter, Großmutter, Freundin und Staatsbedienstete. Ihr Vermächtnis als Wahlleiterin des Staates Delaware ist fester Bestandteil eben der Demokratie, die besser, inklusiver und gerechter zu machen sie ihr Leben gewidmet hat. Ob als Wähler oder als Kandidat, ich wusste, und meine Wählerstimme wusste, dass dieses so fundamentale Recht, seine Stimme abzugeben, unter ihrem wachsamen Auge und dank ihrer tiefen Liebe zu unserem Staat in besten Händen war.
Ernannte und verehrte Führer aller politischen Schattierungen, Elaine verkörperte das unausgesprochene Credo unseres Bundesstaates, dass alles Politische persönlich sei, ganz gleich, wie schwierig die Aufgabe auch sein mochte. Ihre Freude war ansteckend genug, um die Menschen zusammenzubringen, um unsere Gemeinsamkeiten als Amerikaner zu bestärken. Und wir haben bei der gerade erst zurückliegenden historischen Wahl gesehen, dass mehr Bürger von Delaware als jemals zuvor ihre Stimme abgegeben haben. Aber wir alle wissen auch, dass ihre einzige noch tiefere Verbindung die Verbindung zu ihrem geliebten Wayne war. Er war ein guter, anständiger, ehrenvoller Mann.
Matthew, Joe, Michael, uns ist die schicksalhafte Verbindung gemeinsam, geliebte Menschen ganz plötzlich und viel zu früh verloren zu haben. Ich weiß wohl, dass es keine Worte gibt, die den Schmerz lindern könnten, den ihr jetzt empfindet, aber ich möchte euch versichern, dass eines Tages die Erinnerung an eure Eltern wieder ein Lächeln hervorbringen wird, bevor sie euch weinen lässt. Das wird Zeit brauchen, aber ich verspreche euch, dieser Tag wird kommen. Und am heutigen Tag und in den schweren Tagen, die vor euch liegen, hoffe ich, ihr mögt Trost finden in einer Hymne, die unserer Familie Kraft gegeben hat und die, wie ich glaube auch unserem Staat und dem ganzen Land Kraft gibt.
»Und er wird euch erheben auf den Schwingen des Adlers, euch Zuflucht geben vor dem Schrecken der Nacht, er wird dich hell leuchten lassen wie die Sonne und sicher halten in seiner Hand.«*
