Not sure what to say?

My sincere sympathy to the Kennedy family. I have fond memories of the family as we grew and played on Wellington St,(South End)in Boston, MA. The Mildred Kennedy family was known for their dance artistry. What a blessing for Arlene to continue this legacy. This is a celebration of a life that was lived blessing others with the gift that God gave Arlene.

I just could not believe the heartbreaking news. My heart goes out to her mother and father, Mildred and Raymond Bradic, her brothers, Wilbur and Lenardo, and sister, Estrelita, the rest of the Kennedy family, and all of Arlene's friends and students. I have known Arlene since I started dancing for her mother in Roxbury in 1956. WHAT A FAMILY!! I will always remember Arlene, her smile and her laugh, not to mention her dancing. Now, she and Paul will tap their way around heaven, hand in...

Our daughter, Rachel Wolf, learned to tap dance from Mrs. Kennedy. She was an amazing teacher and dancer and an inspiration to all of us. She will be missed.

My most sincere and deep-hearted condolences to the Kennedy family, and the devoted students whose careers in dance both Arlene and Paul nurtured, fostered, shaped, believed in. A great dance artist, teacher, and mastress of the art form has left us now, to embody and immortialize her teachings.
