From Wiki:
Kennedy married Emily Ruth Black (b. October 15, 1957)[2] on April 3, 1982, in Bloomington, Indiana;[citation needed] she is the daughter of Thomas Black and Libby Armstrong.[citation needed] They have two children: Robert F. III, b. 1984, and Kathleen Alexandra, b. 1988. They divorced on March 25, 1994, in the Dominican Republic.[citation needed]
Kennedy subsequently married Mary Richardson (1960 – May 16, 2012) on April 15, 1994, aboard a research vessel along the Hudson River.[3][4] They had four children: Conor Richardson (b. 1994), Kyra LeMoyne (b. 1995), William Finbar (b. 1997), and Aiden Caohman Vieques (b. 2001). On May 12, 2010, Kennedy filed for divorce from Mary; three days later she was charged with drunken driving.[5]
What a guy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, barf! This is like Ted giving a eulogy for Mary Jo, except back in those days the Catholic Church would never have allowed such an abomination.
Another self-serving Kennedy. Using a eulogy to make himself look good. Classy.
It's the Kennedys.
Teddy was married to his wife for 25 years and had the marriage annulled by paying off the catholic Church,he turned her into a drunk and the Kennedy’s claimed she had mental illness, then he killed Mary Jo and remarried, but the Cardinal officiated at this killer and abortionist lover’s funeral.
IOW: My kids killed her.
The Kennedy Men - Waging a war on Women for over 80 years.
Why in Sam Hill would she marry a Kennedy if she didn’t want children?
Satan......
He’s just upset the bridge trick has already been done.
The suicide of Mary Richardson Kennedy continues to shock the 52-year-old’s family and friends, many of whom are blaming her estranged husband, Robert Kennedy Jr., for her decline since he filed for divorce in May 2010. She will reportedly be buried at a cemetery near the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, but a friend told the Daily News, “Hyannisport? You mean the place from which she had been virtually banned for the past two years?”

Apparently she had fallen into credit card debt (enough for American Express to file a civil suit) and another family friend said, “He was going for full custody of the kids, which broke her heart. She also had been part of the Kennedy family for 30 years. And now she was being cast aside by them.” Mary Kennedy’s problems with alcohol and prescription drugs grew, and the Post reports she had “threaten[ed] suicide so often that the family staged an intervention, another friend said.” A source said, “There were times when she had to be taken to the hospital when she would be acting irrationally and threatening to hurt herself.”
What a bastard.
Suicide Divides Kennedy Relatives
Battle lines had been drawn before Mary Richardson Kennedy’s suicide, but the feud between her family and the Kennedy clan grew more bitter Thursday. After being barred from entering the deceased woman’s house Wednesday by Robert Kennedy Jr., two of her sisters received permission from local police to enter the house and retrieve personal belongings Thursday. Kennedy and his wife had been estranged since he filed for divorce in 2010, and as the split was still not final, Kennedy has taken charge of funeral proceedings, planning a wake for Friday and rite of Christian burial on Saturday in Hyannisport. Mary Kennedy’s sisters, however, are planning a separate service scheduled for Monday in Manhattan.

The time of death was not released but family friend Michaelis said a housekeeper had seen Mary Kennedy alive Tuesday, and worried about her absence Wednesday morning.
Her husband denied reports that a suicide note was found.
The Kennedys’ four kids, Conor, Kyra, William and Aiden, range in age from 17 to 11. They were not living with their mom when she killed herself a few days after Mother’s Day.
Their father, who lived in a rented house near the family home and also spent time in California, had taken temporary custody in February.
They were described by family friends as being “shellshocked.”
“They’re quiet. They seem to be actually very stoic,” said one friend.
Friends of the couple said Mary Kennedy knew she was not coping well with the looming divorce and the separation from her kids, but they were shocked that she would go as far as suicide.
“She never gave the impression that things were as bad as they must have been for her to do what she did,” Michaelis said.
His sister, Kerry Kennedy, told the paper that while Mary was enrolled in Alcoholics Anonymous and had been sober for five months, her battle with booze was dwarfed by her depression.
“Her doctors who were well-meaning were trying mightily to find the correct mix of medications to help her. And they failed. Repeatedly,” she said.
“She was fighting, fighting, fighting with every ounce of her being to beat back those demons.”
An autopsy Thursday confirmed that Mary Kennedy died of asphyxiation due to hanging.
I thought eulogies were supposed to be positive, happy memories of the deceased, sounds like he trashed her and exonerated himself of any blame. Certainly not the time not place for that, but then I don’t think church is the place for eulogies.
Her suicide is no one’s responsibility but her own. There were a million other options for her to take. No matter how sorry the Kennedy fellow is, she made the choice. She could have left the entire bunch and easily found someone else that would have cherished her and cared for her unlike R. Kennedy did. She could have received help easily.
She resented him for asking her to give up her career to have children?!
She was pregnant when they married. He was still legally married to the first ex wife when he knocked up the second. The facts don't seem to support his contention that he had to convince her to have kids.
Is there any male member of the Kennedy clan who isn't a pig?
