Married 73 years. That's impressive.

 

[Kutnupe14]

92... that's a good run. God Speed.

 

[KJQ6945]

R.I.P for a very good lady. A true class act.

 

[patience0830]

Godspeed, indeed. A good woman who put up with a lot of crap with great dignity. Supported her husband with wisdom and good counsel. A decent man with a strong woman behind him is easily twice the man he would be without her.

Married 73 years. That's impressive.

Very. I won't be a bit surprised if we end up having a State funeral before the end of the year.

Very. I won't be a bit surprised if we end up having a State funeral before the end of the year.

I'd be surprised if we don't have one within the next 3 months.

I'd be surprised if we don't have one within the next 3 months.

This. It seems when 1 goes, the partner soon follows especially at that age.

 

[Kutnupe14]

This. It seems when 1 goes, the partner soon follows especially at that age.

Don't forget Carter is still around too.

Don't forget Carter is still around too.

Yup. He sure is.

Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter mourn passing of Barbara Bush

“Rosalynn and I are saddened by the death of Barbara Bush,” the couple said In a statement released by the Carter Center not long after the news of the 92-year-old Bush’s passing in Houston “She touched the hearts of millions with her warmth, generosity, and keen wit. The matriarch of a family dedicated to serving, she urged volunteerism as a way for all citizens to participate in our nation’s progress. Through her own work to promote literacy as a value in every American home, countless families now have the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in all aspects of their lives. She will be missed.”

Jeb Bush:

Columba and I join every member of the Bush family in offering our sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love and support for my Mom in recent days, and throughout her remarkable life. I’m exceptionally privileged to be the son of George Bush and the exceptionally gracious, gregarious, fun, funny, loving, tough, smart, graceful woman who was the force of nature known as Barbara Bush. Thank you for your prayers, and we look forward to celebrating and honoring her life and contributions to our family and great nation in the coming days.

Bill Clinton:

Barbara Bush was a remarkable woman. She had grit & grace, brains & beauty. She was fierce & feisty in support of her family & friends, her country & her causes. She showed us what an honest, vibrant, full life looks like. Hillary and I mourn her passing and bless her memory.

Barack Obama:

Al Gore:

Former First Lady Barbara Bush was a pillar of strength for her family and was much admired in our country. Both the wife and the mother of a U.S. President, she will be remembered for her service, pragmatism, and strong, kind spirit.

Mitt Romney:

Barbara raised a family of service & character, stood by her beloved husband in the best & worst of times, and spoke her convictions with courage & passion. The great First Lady of our times. Ann and I will profoundly miss her friendship, her compassion, & the twinkle of her eye.

Donald Trump:

Sad indeed. only took two days after they mentioned failing health on the news. agree with who said the partner is usually soon to follow.

As a widower I know a bit of the pain he (GHW Bush) is feeling. It's been eight years and she is still on my mind, and in my heart. +70 years together, what a blessing to have had each other for that long a time. I know he is hurting.

They have had a wonderful life. A long blessed one together. I will pray an extra prayer for GHW. As othesr have said he is going to have a hard time dealing with this. The wind has been taken away from his sails.
