I hope it does not mean that Patrick’s mother, Joan Kennedy, is in failing health. She is one beautiful person who never deserved what she got from Ted and the rest of that family. Among many heartaches, Joan suffered a miscarriage right after Chappaquidick. She also had to help her 12 year old son through cancer and an amputation of one of his legs.
I also heard that when she wanted to go to rehab in the late 1970’s/early 1980’s she was not allowed to go as it would have been scandalous to “the family”.
That whole family belongs in hell, burning for eternity.
