The final curtain of Camelot

Senator Edward Kennedy, the youngest member of the infamous Kennedy clan, passed away last night. The baby of the family shouldered the burden of carrying on in his brothers' footsteps. He soldiered through personal difficulties to become a respected US Senator. Although I didn't support him politically, I respected him for his years of civil service and his tireless efforts to improve this great nation. Joe and Rose Kennedy successfully instilled in their children a sense of duty to causes that were far greater than themselves and in so doing changed the course of our country. The "Liberal Lion" is now at rest, his final battle having been fought. His illness might have ultimately been victorious in killing his body, but it never killed off his spirit. Rest in peace Teddy.
