AP - Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the presidential sister who founded the Special Olympics, was celebrated Friday at a funeral Mass as a fearless warrior for the voiceless who changed the world for millions and an unconventional woman who smoked Cuban cigars and played tackle football.

While the part you highlighted is nice, her biggest contibution is likely the part before that. She changed the lives of millions of people with special needs and it takes less than a minute at a Special Olympics event to realize the stark impact that it has on the lives of the athletes and their families cheering them on.
