...Kennedy boys who got to make a funeral plan, to imagine what would be sung, what would be read. Cardinal Sean O'Malley, the Archbishop of Boston, would preside, with six others priests participating, including Boston College Chancellor The Rev. J. Donald Monan, and the Rev. Mark R. Hession, pastor of Our Lady of Victory parish in Centerville. Cellist Yo Yo Ma would perform the Sarabande from Bach's Cello Suite number 6; Tenor Placido Domingo would since Cesar Franck's "Panis Angelicus": "The bread of angels becomes the bread of man..."

...writing the book, Kennedy collaborated with Ron Powers, co-author of the No. 1 best seller Flags of Our Fathers and author of the critically acclaimed Mark Twain: A Life.
