Eunice Kennedy Shriver 1921 - 2009

This morning Eunice Kennedy Shriver passed away. Shriver founded one of my favorite organizations, the Special Olympics.

Through Shriver's initiative, a forum was provided for those individuals that happen to have mental disabilities. Through their initiative, these individuals demonstrated to themselves and the world.

The mentally disabled have lost a powerful influence and the world has lost a person who saw an injustice and used her famous name and fortune to make a difference.

May Mrs. Shriver rest in peace and may the Lord give her family comfort in their time of grief.
