RIP Barbara Bush

Filed under: General — Patterico @ 6:57 pm



Barbara Bush has died. Her son George W. had this to say:

My dear mother has passed on at age 92. Laura, Barbara, Jenna, and I are sad, but our souls are settled because we know hers was. Barbara Bush was a fabulous First Lady and a woman unlike any other who brought levity, love, and literacy to millions. To us, she was so much more. Mom kept us on our toes and kept us laughing until the end. I’m a lucky man that Barbara Bush was my mother. Our family will miss her dearly, and we thank you all for your prayers and good wishes.

RIP.

  1. i was thinking earlier this a lot foreshadows the passing of Queen Elizabeth cause of Barbara really was the pinnacle of class and distinction what her whole family has to offer

  2. Unreal:

    ‘Former First Lady Barbara Bush has died after a period of deteriorating health. She was 92.

    The death of the Bush family matriarch – she was wife to former President George H. W. Bush, and mother to former President George W. Bush – has prompted eulogies commemorating her steely wit, philanthropic drive, and lingering presence in the American political conscience.

    The news also inspired a message from President Donald Trump, who called Bush “an advocate of the American family” who recognized “the importance of literacy as a fundamental family value”.’

    And the message [released at whitehouse.gov] listed the date as April 17, 2017.
