Condolences to the Family of Ted Kennedy

I add my condolences to the Kennedy family on the loss of their patriarch this week. He was certainly a man of his convictions, from which he did not waiver. It is hard to think of a senator on the Republican side with the same stature. Of course, I disagreed with most of his politics, but I can respect that his convictions grew out of a desire to help the less fortunate. May he rest in peace.
