What an absolute honor and privilege to know Jean Kennedy , my hero .
An epitome of kindness, strength , intelligence and a great sense of humor . Unbelievably sharp mind till the end , not a wrinkle and a beautiful set of dark , natural hair . She read the most interesting books and I feel so lucky she was kind enough to share them with me .
My deepest sympathy to the entire family . To Tom and Carol and Ron and Arlene , you took unbelievably great care of your mom . Thank you God for Jean's gentle passing . Rest in peace beautiful Jean , the world lost a wonderful soul .

My siblings and I were classmates of the Kennedy kids in the Fall River school district. Mrs. Kennedy was the epitome of a Christian women, who displayed a gentle soul. My condolences to Steve, Julie, Ron, and Tom. I feel your pain; I lost my mother 17 years ago yesterday; the silence of her voice remains deafening. May you find comfort in knowing she is Home and you will one day be reunited. Preserve the precious memories you have of her; they will carry you through this difficult time.
