It's unreal.

And not just sad for them, sad for the USA
and the world too.

I don't believe so ... Ted was the youngest brother and he passed a few years ago.

was targeted to her rare form of leukemia. Not that it necessarily would have afforded an "emergency compassion" intervention at this stage, but it was halted before it could even be explored as such.

I am so sorry for this brave woman, her poor children and husband, Carolyn and husband, Edwin, and all the others who desperately wanted to save her. And I curse those who did NOTHING but put obstacles in her way. I don't think I need to name them.

But, for Tatiana... May there be a peaceful realm, free of pain and full of comfort that awaits.

August 2024. What is sad —she was immediately put into treatment, resulting in limited time with her newborn daughter.

The Kennedy family has endured so much...too much

May compassionate thoughts and healing vibes be a comfort to them now and in the days to come.

For the whole family, for the little children she left behind, for her husband, for all the Kennedys, and especially for Caroline, who has already endured so much tragedy and grief.

I'm sorry, that's the first thought that came to me, given the disgusting regime we're burdened with.

May God bless Ms. Schlossberg's spirit and memory, and give her long-suffering family some comfort at this sad time.

I knew she was diagnosed and had a terminal condition, but I didn't expect her to go this soon. RIP and condolences to Caroline and the rest of her family.
