Funeral Mass takes place in Boston, MA

Is this very far from you Diana, will you be able to attend?

We are getting plenty of coverage via Sky News here in the UK.

I think if I wre to say something about this family, it is that they have "spirit" and they share it with the world, of better times. They also portray to the world, one of deep emotion and "family" ties...despite the problems they face in life.  I do wonder now, whom they will look upon within the family, for guidance.

Remember....When your problems rise up, to bog an depress....and your spirit gives way to dispair:..When your mind  is an vent...To a burden's intent...And your lips can't give voice to a prayer...turn away from the thoughts..that cause you distress...They hinder the self in repair...Trust God to provide...What the heartstrings confinde,,,With assurance your're still in his care.

Ron, I did not attend, I can't abide the crowds. However, I was in the Faneuil Hall area (that's where I work) when the motorcade carrying Kennedy's casket came through. The number of people lining the streets was insane.

Seems he was a very popular man and will be greatly missed according to the live coverage on Sky News.

Faneuil Hall area? I just looked it up Diana and want you to take me to this place ( http://www.mccormickandschmicks.com/ ) when I come over there. Looks the business!

McCormick and Schmicks it is my friend. But I'd really like to take you to the Old Union Oyster House. It is the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the United States. Although there is no record as to when the Oyster House actually opened it's doors, the building its self has been there for 250 years.

Don't worry, the menu is wonderful and they serve all kinds of fare other than oysters!

The Kennedy brothers ate there so frequently that the restaurant put up a plaque designating the booth they always sat in.
