LION



The death of US Senator Edward Kennedy, the last of the Kennedy brothers, leaves no obvious successor to take on the leading role in one of America's most famous political families.
He became not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy.- B OBAMA
We've lost the irreplaceable centre 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. -KENNEDY FAMILY

He was known to the world as the "Lion of the Senate", a champion of social justice and a political icon. Teddy inspired our country through his dedication to health care reform, his commitment to social justice and his devotion to a life of public service.-ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

We mourn, with his family, and the United States of America, the loss of a champion of democracy and civil rights.
His made his voice heard in the struggle against apartheid at a time when the freedom struggle was not widely supported in the West. We remain grateful for his role.
NELSON MANDELA FOUNDATION
