A Mother's Love Endures

Even after JFK Jr.'s untimely death in a plane crash in 1999, the memory of his bond with his mother lives on. The world mourned the loss of a true icon, but it was the loss of a beloved son that affected Jackie the most. Her love for JFK Jr. was eternal, and she carried the pain of his absence with her until her own passing in 1994.
