Kennedy ended his statement by asking people to keep his grandmother in their thoughts and prayers, and requesting that their family’s privacy be respected at this tie.
The 96-year-old Kennedy matriarch has been known to help the family overcome personal crises and tribulations, including the assassination of her husband only a few years after that of JFK, aside from a number of other tragedies.
She is mother to 11 children, including former presidential aspirant and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
