God bless Mrs. Bush and the Bush family.

[Surly Bevo 25094]

Wouldn't be surprised if they go very close to each other.  

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

I always expected her to go last.

Godspeed to the Bushes, hope that her passing is as easy and peaceful as can happen.

Well if they both are wearing diapers and in the same bed, then yeah.

In all honestly... seems right for people who have been married that long.  And yeah, for my parents, too.

[Hate 20128]

I always thought that too, but my Grandma passed away last November at 95 and my Grandpa is still alive and kicking. He’s 97 and they were married 74 years. We’ve all been surprised.

A kinder, gentler America.

My mom lives across the street from the Bush’s house. There has been a much heavier than usual secret service presence there and it looks like the media vultures are circling.

[El Diablo 4232]

Heard that she has requested that she not be hospitalized any further and that all that be done is provide "comfort care" as they wait for her time to pass.

Man, that's real relationship goals to have with someone your so close with, loving them is like loving yourself...

As far as the main issue of this thread: (in my opinion), the Bush family has always represented the best of America...

[Brisketexan 105186]

Always admired her, she's a good woman.  And she's setting a fine example in choosing to go peacefully, with comfort, and acknowledging what a great life she's lived.  

[El Diablo 4232]

She'll always be remembered for the pearl necklace.

[Gil Bang 25984]

She seems to be universally admired.  Here's just one example

 

 

[SDG 3319]

Fox reporting she’s passed away at 92.  Tp to the family.

Just heard it.  Such a gracious lady.  God bless Barbara Bush and the Bush family.

[Macanudo 13001]

I just don't understand the decision to be buried in Aggieland.   Yes I know the library is there but besides dead dogs no one should have to spend an eternity there.

[Irwin F Fletcher 3550]

She was an amazing lady. Sad day for sure.

[Gil Bang 25984]

universally admired

 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19134]

American Icon. God speed, Barb. 

[TexasMan 10947]

Today I found out Barbara Bush lives 2 blocks from me, so this literally does hits close to home.

RIP

[Artificial Iverson 107]

Credit to CNN for coverage of her death, while the other news channels suck the life out of the cloak room. RIP Barb!

RIP. Used to see her taking walks in Tanglewood Park. Just a genuinely nice lady. 

[Armybrat 40858]

Mrs. Bush was a good person who never let anything go to her head. She will be missed. RIP

 

[cactusflinthead 27601]

Rest well. She had some grit.

RIP to a truly remarkable woman. 

[InkaUtexas 26023]

RIP Madam. 

I had the pleasure of meeting her when she visited two foreign missions. Always gracious and kind. We lost a stateswoman. 

[Watashi 7]

RIP

[TexasToast 728]

I'm sad.  She will be missed but remembered.  RIP dear lady.

[Texas_Rocks 346]

One of the more memorable First Ladies that we’ve had imo. She stayed classy ‘til the very end.

[Hizzaz Mahdoud 194]

RIP, Miss Barbara.

[RPM 26329]

I have lot's of issues with the Bush family, but none with Barbara. She was elegant and the epitome of class. She was a wonderful First Lady and I will miss her. RIP

[the idoit 165]

God bless Barbara Bush. She epitomized motherhood and grace to the very end. My sympathies to Presidents Bush and the entire family.

Rest well, First Lady.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

RIP. Pure class.

[Moby Ric 2058]

Had the pleasure of speaking with her on more than one occasion.  She was a icon, and a classy lady.  RIP.

My son used to practice baseball at that park a few years ago -- when he was 5 and 6.  Multiple times I saw her stop by and sit in the stands to watch those little 5 and 6 year olds play baseball. 

 

[pearlandhorn 3274]

Her love for kids, her own and everyone's kids, is exactly what the country needed at the time and still needs.  She was a genuine person, regardless of political beliefs, and did everything the way it was supposed to be done.  She will definitely be missed. 

[Call 393]

Class and dignity to the very end. 

[Capn81 373]

Wonderful Individual. RIP

[Etexhorn13 3052]

We got to sit next to her (randomly) after becoming members at St Martins, and my wife and i were pretty awe struck shaking her hand and telling her good morning. It was pretty incredible getting to see them at church, albeit less and less frequently over the past two years. 11 am service Saturday will be televised for those interested.
