Senator Edward Kennedy

Senator Kennedy was kind to me at a very difficult time in my life and I sincerely appreciate his attention to situations that might have resulted in unfortunate outcomes had I not been suppported by his attention to detail. There are others who I would like to thank also, and I think they knew who they are. In the meantime, I wish to thank the Kennedy family and their friends for kind thoughts and prayers too numerous to mention.

Senator Kennedy Senator Edward M. Kennedy died Tuesday, August 25 after a battle with brain cancer. Earlier this month his sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, passed away. Although Eunice Kennedy Shriver died, her spirit lives on. Of the nine children of Joseph and Rose Kennedy only Jean remains.

Following in the footsteps of his brothers President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Edward Kennedy made his mark in politics. Haunted by personal mistakes, he remained in the senate and continued to serve until his death.

In a statement released by President Obama said, "Our country has lost a great leader, who picked up the torch of his fallen brothers and became the greatest United States Senator of our time".

Thank you to a unique family who has contributed so much including Mrs. Victoria Kennedy, Jean Kennedy Smith, and all of the members of the Kennedy family.
