I am Puala Haig the mother of Brian and the aunt of Robert Kennedy and the late baby Eddie. I loved Ed because he did a lot of things for us. But the most bigest thing that he did was take me and Brian in an helped me get back on my feet. He got me jobs and he cared for Brian as well as his other grandchildren. I know that Brian loved them a lot and he loved him to. He would tell the familt and his wife Peggy the Brian needs to be strong no matter what. Brian is the third oldest out of his dad Robbie and his uncle Robbie. i just wish that Brian can say goodbye to his grandfather. We will miss you
