She was all about service service service.

"Eunice was the light of our family," Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said of his mother-in-law in a statement. "She meant so much, not only to us, but to our country and to the world. She was a pioneer who worked tirelessly for social and scientific advances that have changed the lives of millions of developmentally disabled people all over the world."

OP, you said it: PHENOMENAL woman. My prayers and condolences to the families.

Ted isn't doing well either, so he may be next... I think that will then only leave Jean as the remaining Kennedy sibling.

Oh no. I hadn't heard about that! If Ted passes that will really be the end of an era. :(

Ted has brain cancer and has been sick for about a year. The type of cancer he has has a very low survival rate.

Yeah, I knew he had brain cancer, but I didn't know he had gotten much worse.

I really wasn't aware of much of her accomplishments until recently. Quite frankly, her endless drive to help others (she basically created the Special Olympics) and to love them...she truly was an angel among us.
