Fotografie + English: In Loving Memory of U.S. Senator, Edward (Ted) M. Kennedy. Together again with his brothers, John (Jack) F. Kennedy & Robert (Bobby) Kennedy (Taken on August 28, 2009)

• In this photo collage the Kennedy brothers, John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy are joined together again with their youngest brother, Edward (Ted) M. Kennedy, who did them proud carrying on the family tradition with his life of service to the American people. No truer example of "the dream living on" exists than the path these great men have established for the citizens of the United States of America. This piece is available on poster prints and canvas here
• Kennedy died of his tumor on Tuesday, August 25, 2009, at his home in Hyannis Port, two weeks after the death of his sister Eunice. He is survived by his wife Victoria, his sister Jean Kennedy Smith, and his three children. In a statement, Kennedy's family thanked "everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice". President Barack Obama said that Kennedy's death marked the "passing of an extraordinary leader" and that he and First Lady Michelle Obama were "heartbroken" to learn of Kennedy's death, while Vice President Joe Biden said "today we lost a truly remarkable man," and that Kennedy "changed the circumstances of tens of millions of Americans". Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts Governor and Kennedy's opponent in the 1994 senate race, called Kennedy "the kind of man you could like even if he was your adversary" and former First Lady Nancy Reagan said she was "terribly saddened." She went on: "Given our political differences, people are sometimes surprised how close Ronnie [Ronald Reagan] and I have been to the Kennedy family.... I will miss him. Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the President pro tempore of the Senate, issued a statement on Kennedy's death in which he said "My heart and soul weeps at the loss of my best friend in the Senate, my beloved friend, Ted Kennedy". After his death, his sister Jean Kennedy Smith is the only surviving child of Joseph P. Kennedy and Rose Kennedy's nine children.
• Kennedy's body travelled a 70-mile (110 km) journey from the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts past numerous landmarks named after his family to the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts where it laid in repose. A procession on Friday, August 28, will travel from the library to the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica in Boston, where a funeral Mass will be held. (Such a Mass is permitted by the Church for politicians who act gravely contrary to Christian doctrine -- such as encouraging legislation for abortion -- if they repent of such behavior.) Former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush (his first national appearance since leaving office) will all be in attendance, and incumbent President Obama will deliver a eulogy. Kennedy will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery near the graves of his brothers. He is eligible for burial at Arlington because he was an elected U.S. government official. Though his family does not plan to cremate him, Kennedy would be eligible to have cremated remains interred at Arlington because he was a Private First Class in the Army.
