I called his office once about healthcare issues concerning my daughter Brianna. I can assure you, one phone call was all it took.

Thank you for everything you did for my family and millions around the world.We are still crying, typing this brings it all back. But thank you forever and we thank your family for sharing you!

While his legacies are legion, his efforts to ensure that all expectant parents receive up-to-date, accurate information about Down syndrome will be among the most long-lasting.

Senator Kennedy was a tireless advocate for us and he will be sorely missed. I had the honor of giving testimony on stem cell issues before him in the senate on several occasions, and he was always deeply interested in the science and the implications for giving relief to the sick. He was always pulling for the needy--the sick, the underprivileged, the oppressed. My condolences go out to his family.
