We were married on April 15, 1994 three weeks after my divorce from my previous wife
Emily Black was finished.
At the time of the marriage, Mary was 6 months pregnant with our son Conor.
Thave known Mary since 1975 when she was 14 and I was 21.
Mary was and is best friends to my sister Kerry Kennedy. The two were roommates for 13
years including four years at Putney School, a boarding school in Vermont, four years at
Brown University and five years in New York City.
Mary was a kind, generous person, open and considerate to and curious about ell people from
royalty to cab drivers. She was stunningly beautiful, with pitch-perfect taste, electric charm,
and a genius for friendship that had won her an army of loyal and loving friends. Mary had
subtle humor, a photographic memory, and an enthusiasm for life. She was blessed with a
profound spirituality that had emerged from her struggles with the eating disorders that had,
in her youth, caused her hospitalizations and nearly killed her. I loved the way she
blossomed in crowds, the thirst for adventure that brought her alive during our frequent white
water and wilderness camping trips. [adored her grand gestures and her careful attention to
tiny details and the elegance and enthusiasm with which she undertook every enterprise.
1 fell deeply in love with Mary in 1993, At the time I was in the process of finalizing a
separation agreement with my first wife (of 11 years), Emily Black, with whom I had been
estranged for over a year.
