I am sending my deepest sympathy to all of the Kennedy children, for each of you had a close friendship with at least one of us in the Northrip family. You must all have such wonderful memories of your mother. I am sure that whenever there are family gatherings, the stories you will all tell the younger family members will make you feel she is still there with you. She will be sadly missed and warmly remembered.
