Kerry Kennedy is sharing insight into her mother Ethel Kennedy's relationship with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and the tenderness they shared.
Though the two Kennedy family matriarchs have had well-documented differences between each other, they were eternally bonded through decades of friendship and shared grief; both of their husbands, John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, respectively, were assassinated five years apart, the president in November 1963 and his younger brother and attorney general in June 1968.
