RIP Ethel Kennedy

I'm scared to look up what I've written about her in the past because she was always my favorite & I'm sure I said something immature but she really was a woman of significance to be mourned & celebrated. Her devoutness to the Catholic faith even in the face of brutal & frequent tragedy is inspiring even to a dried-out husk of a non-believer like myself. There's nothing I can add you can't read about everywhere else right now, but in particular I'm struck to find out that she took an active interest in one of her late husband's pet projects, the Bed-Stuy Reclamation Project, which brings back warm memories of a brief but great influence in my life, Lewis Mitchell.
