Wife’s heath prompts Daley to stop traveling
Former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley has canceled his travel plans indefinitely to stay with his ailing wife.
Daley’s former top press aide Jacqueline Heard said Friday in an email that the former mayor had planned to fly to Harvard University next week as a visiting fellow. But Heard says Daley decided to cancel because he wants to stay with Maggie Daley, who has been battling metastatic breast cancer since 2002.
Last week, the couple’s daughter, Elizabeth “Lally” Daley, was married after the family decided to move up the wedding by several weeks because of Maggie Daley’s health.
