Sarah Brady's Tribute To Kennedy
Sarah Brady, honorary chair of the Brady Campaign and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, issued this statement today, crediting Sen. Ted Kennedy with passage of the Brady Law and wishing him well in his fight against cancer:
“Jim and I send Senator Kennedy, Vicki and the entire Kennedy family our love and warm wishes. It was great to see the Senator looking so strong and fit when he left the hospital this morning.
“Senator Kennedy has been an inspiration to Jim and me for many years. Publicly, he seems larger than life when you are with him. But privately, he is a man of great humility and kindness. Throughout the fight to pass the Brady Law, he worked feverishly behind the scenes, lobbying his colleagues, resolving dilemmas, but never wanting any credit. He deserves credit, though, because we never would have passed it without him - we wouldn’t have even gotten close.
“Sitting on my windowsill is an orchid that Teddy and Vickie gave me two years ago. It is blooming now. I look at it, and I know that Teddy will win this fight, as he has won so many in the past.”

Dear Kennedy Family,
My prayers are for you and your family. You are from a family with great FAITH and so am I. I have a broken (but still intact) glass magnet on
my refrigerator that reads "BELIEVE, and anything is possible". So I leave this with you, BELIEVE in yourself and you will recover and your family will be there to help you. DWB
