I had the privilege of serving Senator Ted Kennedy on numerous trips to California. My heartfelt condolences go out to the Kennedy family, the Shriver family, the Townsend family, to all those who knew him personally, and to the millions of Americans who are mourning his passing.
The Irish poet John O'Donohue taught us that the most powerful type of presence that any person can bring to this world is the presence of compassion. Senator Edward Kennedy had that presence of compassion. With his passing this morning, our country has lost a great champion of progress.
Senator Kennedy believed that each of us can make a difference in this world. By carrying forward his compassionate spirit and his causes, we can honor that belief --and all he did in his own life to make a difference.
Sincerely,
Brian Quintana
