Allinaugust thanks for mentioning what the late Senator Ted Kennedy did for the widows of 9/11 and their families, he made it a point to personally call each one , but he did not stop there, he kept calling to make sure they were okay. He also fought through red tape to get them assistance and grief counseling. Again to me he was a very powerful public figure with morals and if his memorial service and all the people that attended and spoke were not proof then I honestly do not know what to say. I will say this while I was not happy with ex president Bush and of course the war, if sadly he passed away tomorrow, I would feel sorry I did not hate him I just did not agree with how he ran our country, but I will tell you this I would not be jumping so fast to dig up his past because mostly all public figures especially in the political world have skeltons in their closets, a post about him passing away would not be the place to talk about such things. Rest in peace Senator Kennedy and prayers to your family... Peace. Catherine
