I heard on the news that Eunice Kennedy Shriver is seriously ill after a stroke. I think that is very sad. She founded the Special Olympics. I got to meet her (well... from across the room) when I worked at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. The Special Olympics is an amazing organization.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

Yes, she did pass. RIP, dear lady. You worked tirelessly on behalf of those who had previously been virtually ignored by the majority.
Blessings,
Mary

I just read a wonderful tribute to her in the Washington Post.
Written by a friend of 40 years, one of the paragraphs quite says it all -
I've wondered often why no biography, nor even a New Yorker profile, has been written about this singular woman who has bettered the lives of uncounted millions of the otherwise rejected. Of late, we've had biographies of Brooke Astor, Helen Gurley Brown, Julia Child, Mae West and Gypsy Rose Lee (two of her, no less). Apparently fewer people are interested in reading 400 pages about a life of unglittery goodness and giving. About a woman who was faithful to one husband, one church, one mission -- and, worse, who was never jailed, never overdosed and never threw things at stakeout reporters.

I have just finished a book about the Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys. It increased my admiration for Eunice Kennedy Shriver. She did so much good in this world.
The times she lived in and the dynamics of her family limited her in some ways. Nonetheless she made a difference in so many lives.

Rest in peace, fine lady.
