Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a powerful story about Charlie’s impact on his family.
“My granddaughter left for college in Europe. Her mother noticed that she packed a Bible..”
“When her mother asked her why she made that choice, she said, ‘I want to live more like Charlie.’”

Secretary Kennedy also shared powerful advice on how to deal with the death of a loved one.
“When my brother David died, I had a conversation with my mother, who had been through more than her share of loss and tragedy. And I asked her- ‘Does the hole they leave in you when they die, does it get any smaller?’”
“She said- ‘No, it never gets any smaller, but our job is to build ourselves bigger around the hole, and we do that by taking the best virtues and character traits of the person that we lost, and using discipline and restraint and practice integrating those character traits into our own character.’”
“‘And in doing that, we make ourselves larger and the hole gets proportionately smaller and we also give that person a kind of immortality – because the best parts of them are now living on us.’”
