whatever our political likes/dislikes are, we can come together and feel sadness for another blow to the kennedy clan.

how much sadness and tragedy can this family handle?

senator kennedy has done well for our state.
he has been a terrific advocate for the poor, the kids and the blue collar workers.

i wish him no pain and easy days ahead.

Ditto. My beloved grandfather died of a brain tumor 20 years ago, surviving only 4 months after diagnosis. Looking back on it now, his swift passing was a blessing.

Very sad. My prayers are with the Kennedy family. My mom died of a brain tumor when she was 61.

it is very sad news for someone who has devoted his entire adult life to public service. while my mom did not have brain cancer, she just passed last week from pancreatic cancer. she was diagnosed with the disease one month ago and went downhill fast. i miss her very much

you will always miss her
the good memories will give you strength
your tears and saddness will turn to joy when you think of the great memories
take great comfort in the fact that her suffering did not go on for months or longer.

Liz-ArubaLover & DonSullivan........so sorry to hear about both of your mothers. I can only imagine. We thank God everyday that my mom is still fighting strong, she's an 8 yr Breast Cancer survivor. She lost her best friend to Pancreatic Cancer back in 2003.

The Kennedy family is in our prayers. We were completely shocked to hear that Mr. Kennedy has a brain tumor.
