Eunice Kennedy Shriver is very ill

[Edwina's Secretary]

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.

An interesting tidbit in all the articles about her this week -

Eunice Kennedy Shriver is the first and thus far only woman to have her portrait appear on a U.S. coin during her lifetime. It was the 1995 commemorative Special Olympics silver dollar.
