Quotes from President Obama's Eulogy
Today we say goodbye to the youngest child of Rose and Joseph Kennedy. The world will long remember their son Edward as the heir to a weighty legacy; a champion for those who had none; the soul of the Democratic Party; and the lion of the U.S. Senate – a man whose name graces nearly one thousand laws, and who penned more than three hundred himself.Ted Kennedy's life's work was not to champion those with wealth or power or special connections. It was to give a voice to those who were not heard; to add a rung to the ladder of opportunity; to make real the dream of our founding.
Though it is Ted Kennedy's historic body of achievements we will remember, it is his giving heart that we will miss.
We weep because we loved this kind and tender hero who persevered through pain and tragedy – not for the sake of ambition or vanity; not for wealth or power; but only for the people and the country he loved.

Kennedy's body will lay in repose for public viewing at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum's Smith Center on Thursday, August 27 and Friday, August 28. Times for viewing were:- 6 pm to 11 pm Thursday
