The following is a statement from the Kennedy family upon the death of Teddy Kennedy:
“Edward M. Kennedy – the husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle we loved so deeply – died late Tuesday night at home in HyannisPort. We’ve lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever.
We thank everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice, fairness and opportunity for all. He loved this country and devoted his life to serving it. He always believed that our best days were still ahead, but it’s hard to imagine any of them without him.”
I am sad at his passing, another icon that has always been there in my life gone. It makes me feel my age a bit, however I know he is resting easier where he is now. We as LGBT's owe a great deal of our progress at the federal level to this man who fought many a battle for our rights. May he Rest in Peace. It will be hard to imagine life without Teddy on our side.
