The Illinois Senate extends its sincere condolences to his surviving family members, including his children Charles, Thomas, Sean, and Dixie Miller, as well as his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The resolution formally expresses the Senate's sympathy and directs that a copy of the resolution be presented to Kennedy's family as a gesture of remembrance and support during their time of grief.
