Very unselfish lady. She could have just rested on the name her entire left but did not.

She was a remarkable woman.
(If only the rest of the Kennedy clan were like her.)
It was quoted that she had the qualities that could have made her a presidential candidate (years ago).

She has left a legacy, built of care, compassion and understanding that no one else in her ENTIRE FAMILY can even touch.
She was a selfless person, who did all she could for the creation and maintaining of the Special Olympics, and she always kept quiet and remained humble (not a typical Kennedy trait based on the rest of the family).
They had one comment that was made on the news that really impressed me. There is a "presidential portrait" with her done in connection with the Special Olympics. Those types of portraits are usually reserved for ONLY Presidents and First Ladies.

If there is anyone that deserves a commemorative stamp, plate or portrait. it's definitely her!

God bless you, Eunice Kennedy Shriver
