Two deaths this week have touched a lot of people in our community.
Seema Sonnad, who was very active in the three-day eventing world, died of a cardiac arrhythmia that she suffered while running a 100K ultramarathon in Washington State. She was 52. I met Seema only a few times, while fence-judging at equestrian events, but her competence shone brightly in everything she did. I didn't realize that she had such a distinguished career -- she was Director of Health Services Research at Christiana Care’s Value Institute -- or that she lent a helping hand to so many young riders.
And of course you hear that Vice President Joseph Biden's son Beau died on May 30 at age 46 of brain cancer. Given that the Biden family is from Greenville, he had lifelong connections to many southern Chester County residents. I've read on social media many fond remembrances of Beau as a boy, a student, a public servant and a parent.
