SEN. EDWARD "TED" KENNEDY DIES AT AGE 77

Sen. Edward "Ted" Kennedy Dies today, Wednesday Aug. 26th at his home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts from after a long battle with brain cancer.  He was the youngest brother of the former and late President John F.

Ted Kennedy was said to be a strong supporter of the current Healthcare Reform that is on the table for the American People.

The family released this statement: "We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever. We thank 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."

Y.E.S On Demand sends their condolences to the Kennedy family during this time.  This news brings sadness around the globe, but the appreciation from our hearts to his family for all that they have done for this country is more enormous than any other emotion.  To the Kennedy Family: WE THANK YOU!!!!!! We are aware that this year has been hard on the Kennedy Family and our prayers are with them.
