My heart goes out to Vicky and the Kennedy family. Even though I did not know Ted or any of you, you all remind me so much of my large irish catholic family. I for one will miss Ted as he was my favorite brother. I think because he was not perfect but was very much human and filled with compassion and love for not only his own family but his brother's families as well. He will truly be missed and I hope that one of the Kennedy's will follow Ted's dreams.

I did not always agree with his political views but i felt he did a lot for massachusetts. I think he was more effective as a senator than he could ever have done as president. I will miss him very much. I extend my most heartfelt condolences to his family and closest friends.

The country has lost a true patriot in the death of Sen. Kennedy, we may never see a person of his stature in American politics again. He was a true "Profile in Courage". My prayers go out to the family and may God comfort them in this time of sorrow.

We are sending our sympathy to the family of Ted Kennedy. He was our hero. He always fought for the underdog with a sincere,honest fight. He is going to be missed. It is going to take a very special someone to fill his shoes. We hope this can be done. The poor, sick and disabled need someone to fight for them.

When I was in 3rd or 4th grade I wrote to Sen. Kennedy and as a child, I'msure that my handwriting was terrible and words were misspelled, but he took the time to write back to me and I remember it to this day I will remember it for the rest of my life. He was a VERY special man who took time out and cared for ANYBODY he came into contact and although I never met him personnaly, I will miss him deeply all because of a simple letter that he took time to write to a child.

Ted Kennedy was a great man, enduring a lot of sadness and hardships in his life. He stands out to be the most influential senator in the state of Massachusetts!

Ted kennedy may not have been perfect, no one is but he was truly a wonderful, caring man who fought hard with integrity for his cause.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Senator Kennedy. I lost my husband Oct. 16, 2007 and my daughter was only 7. She is away at a grief camp this week and it is a very emotional day for me. This passing has brought out some raw emotion that I have tried to hide for some time now. I pray that you will rest in peace and know that my husband Glenn will be waiting for you at the gates of heaven to give you a tour, and talk about his beloved Patriots and Red Sox. Your family has great strength.

TODAY I LOST A DEAR FRIEND. THROUGHOUT MY 30 YEARS AT PIEDMONT AIRLINES AND THEN USAIRWAYS AT LOGAN AIRPORT....EACH DAY THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND TIME WITH 'TEDDY' WAS NOTHING LESS THAN WONDERFUL. HIS FIRST QUESTION WAS ALWAYS HOW ARE YOU? HE ALWAYS CARED ABOUT OTHERS. HE DID SO MUCH FOR PEOPLE AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON MATTERED. MY WONDERFUL DAYS THAT I HAD WITH EUNICE AND TED I HOLD CLOSE TO MY HEART. MY SYMPATHIES ARE WITH THE KENNEDY FAMILY.

Mrs. Kennedy always said to whom much is given much is expected. Ted Kennedy took those words to heart and did so much for this nation. Yet with so much given to the Kennedy family, there was so much tragedy. Yet the Senator kept the family grounded and became their rock. I can't imagine a world without this Kennedy; without the Camelot of old. It is a sad sad day. May God Bless the Kennedy family and help them through these difficult days. Senator you will be missed!

I feel indescribably sad today. I was always so proud to be from Massachusetts. Did I meet him? Yes, but does it matter? I feel that I lost a family member. I didn't know I would feel this way, but I do. I guess it was like having an older brother looking out for me, my healthcare, my social security, etc. I feel very sad for Caroline. Is this the end of Camelot? My sincere condolences for the Kennedy family and every citizen of this state. Marilyn Gurry Dedham Ma

I had the pleasure of attending a rally that Teddy spoke at in Maine several years ago. He was friendly, engaging,and what he said came from the depths of his soul. We as Americans have lost a great friend and advocate.

This is a sad day, indeed. Your brother taught me when at my young age of 18, to not ask what my country could do for me, but what I could do for my country. I lived in LA and vigorously supported Bobby during his run for president, and listened to the news of his assasination in horror. And you, lion that you are became the beacon of light in this world. You will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to you and your beloved family. Thank you. Rest in peace with your brothers.

The three Kennedy brothers inspired me, my life and my career decisions. For a while it seemed as if Teddy had messed up his career beyond redemption, but as I reflected today I realized that the good that he has done in the Senate and the grace with which he served, have far outweighed the bad decisions of his youth. We have lost a wonderful public servant. I grieve for him and for his brothers all over again.-- William A. Kolb, age 72, Memphis TN, retired Episcopal priest

When I was 10, I passed out leaflets for John to be President in my hometown of Sault Ste. Marie MI. The night I graduated from High School Bobby was shot, I was to leave the next day to join his campaign. I can honestly say my 35 years in public service was due in large part to their inspiration Today I awoke to the news that Ted was gone. The combined memories of these great Americans will endure in the good the wonder and the inspiration they left for us

I wrote you a letter once and was put on your mailing list. I received your letters of concern continuously, although I never lived in Massachusetts and I never voted for you. Yours was a much needed voice on issues that touched us all. I shall miss your letters. It was a life well lived. Thank you for all you did for this country. I shall remember you with gratitude. May you rest in peace. My thoughts go to your family during this time of grief. May they be comforted by your legacy.

I woke this morning, to hear of the passing of Sen. Ted Kennedy. Though I now live in Arizona,I grew up in Watertown Ma. and still call Massachusetts "home", and somehow, although I could not vote for him, still called Sen. Kennedy my senator. Philisophically and in my heart this was true. I am so saddened that he was unable to make it to witness health care reform being passed, but somehow his spirit will be there.

I am so sorry to hear this news. He was a great man who did so much for this country and who was tireless in his efforts to do what he knew was right for the majority of us. He did for those who had the least, the least money, the least voice, the least influence. He did for us what very few others had the vision and the will to do. I will miss him and his country will miss him.

My sympathies go to to the Kennedy family, but I hope they are proud of this man who never hesitated to stand up for what he thought was right and just. There are few in his mold, and we've lost a great man this day, and you've lost a father, uncle, grandfather, and so much more. So much loss for you over the years, so many good men gone. Ted was able to do his life's work and leave a legacy, like his brothers', to be proud of -- perhaps the greatest of all. Support each other in this sad time.

I was 15 when Senator Kennedy entered into the Senate. The Kennedy Family has suffered an enormous amount of tragedy during my lifetime, but through it all still managed to put country first.

Ted Kennedy was a great public benefactor who tirelessly fought to make the United States a better place for everyone. He was full of warmth, good humor, confidence and humility all at once. The right wing cranks who post here with their viciously nasty small minded snipes should reflect on a certain criminally insane mass murdering war profiteering thug who mixed himself a few cocktails, leaving others to deal with the companion he shot in the face. Oh, and didn't Miss Laura kill someone?
