COMPOUND WORDS: Katherine
Schwarzenegger just penned a public tribute to her loved ones, after she and the rest of her Kennedy kin laid her cousin,
Saoirse Kennedy Hill, to rest in a private service earlier this week. “After wiping away the tears, after the beautiful sunsets, there is always a new day,” wrote Schwarzenegger, who’s the daughter of Maria Shriver and
Arnold Schwarzenegger. “It’s not the big events or pretty things that hold you up at the end of the day, it’s family.” The 29-yearold author, who also spent time at the Kennedy compound with new husband, actor Chris Pratt, earlier this summer, continued to emphasize how thankful she was to be a part of the prominent political family in her Instagram statement, writing: “I feel so incredibly blessed to be part of such a loving, supportive and strong family that shows up in good times and in tough times. I love each and every one of them and am so grateful to have them in my life.” Hill, the granddaughter of Robert Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy, was a 22year-old Boston College student who suddenly passed away on Aug. 1 while staying at the famous Hyannisport property. The Kennedys confirmed the news of her death in a statement last week, writing: “Our hearts are shattered by the loss of our beloved Saoirse. Her life was filled with hope, promise and love. … She lit up our lives with her love, her peals of laughter and her generous spirit. Saoirse was passionately moved by the causes of human rights and women’s empowerment and found great joy in volunteer work, working alongside indigenous communities to build schools in Mexico. We will love her and miss her forever.”
