Kennedy mourned near, far

From Dorchester to Cape Cod, from Washington to capitals around the world, the weak and the powerful yesterday mourned the death of Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy, while his family prepared for the legendary lawmaker’s last journey from Hyannis Port to a final resting spot alongside his slain brothers at Arlington National Cemetery.

3 days of rites begin
with procession today

The path of remembrance for Senator Edward M. Kennedy will follow the trail of his celebrated life - from his beloved Hyannis Port to his fallen brother’s presidential library in Dorchester, from the Mission Hill church where Kennedy prayed for his daughter to survive her bout with cancer to Arlington National Cemetery, where he will be buried beside his brothers.

A man who knew pain eased it in others

There was no use arguing. It was Aug. 18, 2008. The senator read in the paper that two servicemen from Mashpee had died in Iraq and Afghanistan. He knew their grieving families would be together that afternoon, gathering for sandwiches and fortitude before a candlelight service. He wanted to be with them. (By Yvonne Abraham, Globe Columnist)
