Breaking: Eunice Kennedy Shriver dies

Well, at least she lived a long life. Does that make Ted Kennedy the last from that generation of the family?
 
Unfortunate.

I was told recently that apparently I'm a 5th cousin once removed to Ted Kennedy. Huh.
 
She lived a long life and did a lot of good when she was alive. That's probably more than you can say about a lot of people.

Rest in peace.
 
She also had all her family surrounding her upon her death. If we should only be so lucky.... If she was lucid I hope that brought her some comfort.
 
In spite of her age, this still came as a surprise considering all the stories of her health. Given his brain cancer, I expected Ted Kennedy to go next.

Of course, the Kennedy family has always been notorious for their creative relationship with the news media.

Sill, sad news.
 
She'll be remembered far more for her Special Olympics work than she will for her birth as a Kennedy.
 
Yeah, without her we wouldn't be able to watch the mentally handicapped struggle at doing athletic events.

There'd have been no movie "The Ringer".
