Statement from
Senator Pacheco on the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy
“My heart goes out to the Kennedy family with the
lost of their Patriarch, Senator Ted Kennedy. We have all lost
not only an outstanding statesman, but also the greatest
United States Senator in our history.
“During his five decades of service in the United
States Senate, Senator Kennedy has been the champion for civil
rights, health care reform and education. He has fought for
working families and children’s rights. We have all lost a
true friend who was never afraid to fight for the underdog;
the person who needed a helping hand. I have had the good
fortune to have worked with Senator Kennedy on issues ranging
from education to health care. I feel tremendously honored to
have known the Senator and I will always admire what he has
done on behalf of not only the people of Massachusetts and the
United States, but also people all around the world.
“The Senator will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers
are with his wife Vicki, the Senator’s children, Kara,
Edward and Patrick, and the entire Kennedy family during these
difficult times. I would also like to send my condolences to
Senator Kennedy’s dedicated staff who have served both past
and present, as well as all of the individuals that have been
by the Senator’s side this past year. We will continue
Senator Kennedy’s work, remembering the words that he passed
onto all of us; ‘The work goes on, the cause endures, the
hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.’” In his
memory we will continue to fight for the issues and values
Senator Kennedy fought so passionately for throughout his
life.
