Julia Thorne, an author, activist, and former wife of US Senator John F. Kerry, died yesterday in Concord. She was 61.
The cause of death was transitional-cell carcinoma, a form of cancer, according to her daughter Vanessa Kerry.
In a telephone interview, John Kerry called Ms. Thorne "a great friend to a lot of people" and spoke with emotion of her accomplishments as a parent. "She was the best mom two daughters could want," he said. "She was completely committed to the kids and their future."
Her daughter echoed that view.
"She was a phenomenal mother," said Vanessa Kerry, of Cambridge. "And she affected many others, too. So many people have come up to me over the years, even on the campaign trail, to say how much of a difference her books made for them. People basked in her embrace of life."

Kerry...helping America's rich manage their money...one wealthy widow at a time.
More proof that the Catholic hierarchy is in bed with the liberal Democrats
RIP
(Hopefully her daughter, Alexandra, will choose a different dress for the funeral than the one she wore at Cannes in 2004.)
> The question that...must be asked, is that since her death was caused by a "cell"-related condition, how long will it take for the Left (be it a Democrat or Republican) to ramp up the language about stem-cell research...
You can ask it, but please do so on another thread. Thanks.
money .....of course
I guess in Kerry's mind, the marriage was never really 'consummated'.
If you have enough MONEY and are willing to lie, the Catholic Church will annul anyone's marriage. Case in point: I had a an uncle, by marriage, who was a multi-millionaire. He had been married 4 times, producing 3 children. We never could prove it; but, everyone in the family (including his son) believes that he murdered my husband's aunt, his 4th wife. The night she was murdered he moved in with his 29 year old mistress. He was the richest man in town and pretty much had ALL local authorities in his back pocket.
He had that marriage annulled, I'm not sure what he did about the others. The next year he had a huge wedding in the Catholic Church and either a Cardinal or Bishop performed the ceremony. I know he greased the palms of greedy church officials to get this accomplished.
I didn't know she was ill
Sending prayers

What do you have to lie about? So you can get it annulled even if one spouse if very strongly OPPOSED to that annullment? Why doesn't it take the concurrence of BOTH?

Don't be fooled. Sheila Rauch Kennedy and and Julia Kerry were both liberals who felt that divorced Catholics should be allowed to remarry without annulments. Julia wrote in the foreword to Sheila's book that she supports her ex-husband's annulment only so he could receive the sacraments, but she's against the idea of annulments. Sheila Kennedy also spoke at a Call to Action conference.
May she RIP.
No, it meant that in the eyes of the Church, the SACRAMENT was invalid, NOT the marriage. They are two completely different things. The first is a religious covenant, the second is a legal contract.
??
That's just wrong. The Catholic Church should be ashamed. Eighteen years of marriage invalidated *just like that*.
How very sad. She was not an old woman by any means.
I'm not Catholic, so I don't the acceptable reasons for annulment. But, it is my understanding that if you say you divorced for one of the accepted reasons, the annulment is granted. It is MUCH easier if you have lots of money to spread around. Disgusting!
And what if one of the spouses is strongly opposed?
LOL
