Default Barbara Bush dies

Rest In Peace. Age 92.

Extraordinary life: the wife of a president, the mother of another president, mother of another son who left a mark on the political landscape.

Only Abigail Adams has a similar status in US politics.
~~~~~~

I guess this is another test for our community: can we offer our respects to a person who we know via politics, but steer clear of politics itself, and/or “not nice” and non-respectful evaluations?

She was always classy and regal and so far above the fray to be admired and respected by everyone. I never heard a bad word said about her. That is such a testament to her.

George H. W. likely won’t be too far behind her. RIP Barbara.

She was indeed classy. I always respected her. And she loved her springer spaniels! That alone is endearing!

She was able to rise above the petty and malicious atmosphere with dignity and class. Godspeed to a Grand Dame.

I'm in the College Station area. She'll be buried here. I haven't seen anything happening yet but I would imagine there will be security and other things going on. Wonder if we'll get a Trump helicopter. I think it will be cool to have a president here and be able to go visit their graves.

By all accounts a wonderful lady who was nice to everyone whether the cameras were there or not. I also respected her literacy campaign and the dignity by which she carried herself. Yes, I am afraid George will be following her soon and maybe that is the way it should be.
