For a time after RFK's death, she was escorted to dinners, parties and the theater by singer and family friend Andy Williams. After her husband's death, Kennedy continued to live at the family home, Hickory Hill, in McLean, Virginia until December 2009, when it was sold for $8.25 million.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
““Promise me solemnly,” I said to her as she lay on what I believed to be her death bed, “if you find in the world beyond the grave that you can communicate with me—that there is some way in which you can make me aware of your continued existence—promise me solemnly that you will never, never avail yourself of it.” She recovered and never, never forgave me.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
