Mary’s good friend Kerry Kennedy spoke to reporters before the service, saying that Mary was loved within the Kennedy clan.
“She just lived her life to the fullest,” she said. “She did everything she could for her friends and she loved her children more than anything else. Connor was her prince.

Be thankful that you have not suffered depression to this extent. It is obvious that you are basing your comment as a reaction to what the children will suffer. Let me tell you that mental illness is just that, an illness. It can be very destructive to the person and their families. We have no right to judge another person unless we’ve walked in their shoes. Depression is often as a result of chemical imbalance which can be brought on or exacerbated in times of stress. She made a choice but , the illness probably didn’t allow her to think any further than that split second when she decided to take her life. The children need lots of prayers.
