SHOOT: Seems like an amazing woman.
"She was scary smart and not afraid to show it," Maria Shriver said of her mother, who died Tuesday at age 88. "If she were here today ... she would pound this podium ... and ask each of you what you have done today to better the world."
Shriver's only living brother, Sen. Edward Kennedy, who has been battling brain cancer, did not attend the funeral.
Maria Shriver and her husband, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, joined other family members to carry the casket into the church, the same place where the two were married 23 years earlier.
"Mummy wore men's pants, smoked Cuban cigars and she played tackle football," she said. "Our mother never rested, she never stopped. She was momentum on wheels."
She was buried at the St. Francis Xavier parish cemetery in nearby Centerville after a brief private graveside service.
