"Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie," he said looking out into the audience on Wednesday morning. "She was going to be here." - NPR
Ms. Walorski was killed in August in an auto accident...

Now, you might say that maybe Brandon didn't know Ms. Walorski had passed. However, that excuse is just that, an excused because
Brandon and Dr. Jill issued a statement after she passed.
"I appreciated her partnership as we plan for a historic White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health this fall that will be marked by her deep care for the needs of rural America. We send our deepest condolences to her husband, Dean, to the families of her staff members, Zachery Potts and Emma Thomson, who lost their lives in public service, and to the people of Indiana's Second District who lost a representative who was one of their own." - NPR
