Conservative radio pioneer Rush Limbaugh was laid to rest during a private ceremony at Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri, on Wednesday, according to the Southeast Missourian.
97.1 FM TALK reports:
Sources say the north St. Louis County cemetery was closed to the public for several hours Wednesday, as an estimated 40 family members and dignitaries had to clear security before being allowed through the gates.
Many expected Limbaugh to be buried in his hometown of Cape Girardeau, Mo. Instead, he will rest in eternity alongside some of St. Louis’s most famous residents.
Limbaugh’s widow, Kathryn, told the Southeast Missourian that a virtual ceremony will come later.
“Missouri’s native son Rush Limbaugh was laid to rest today. Rush’s legacy in our state and across the nation will not be forgotten,” Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) said in a statement.

Limbaugh passed away on February 17 at the age of 70 after a battle with advanced lung cancer.
Limbaugh, host of The Rush Limbaugh Show for 32 years, had been battling Stage 4 lung cancer since January 2020. Just days after announcing his diagnosis, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Donald Trump during the State of the Union on February 4, 2020.

Me, either. I cannot listen to the show now. His voice brings tears
It was a year-long feeling of dread. He was not supposed to go that young.
RIP, Rush. The mark you left behind is indelible; as Horatio might say, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Rush taught me to be bold.
I estimate it is less than a week before some hater desecrates his grave.
If Tomorrow Starts Without Me”
by David Romano (1993)
“If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you
And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
He said my place was ready, in heaven far above
And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned and walked away a tear fell from my eye.
For all my life I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do.
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad.
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.”

I SO agree.....we have his voice recorded for posterity but his insight, wisdom, evolving advice, daily reassurance, humor and comraderie is gone forever.....I just cannot stop crying.......
thanks.. I searched and this one was not posted.
However Rush did have a lot to do with helping Andrew Breitbart get started so I thought I’d post his article.
My thought, too.
RIP old friend, enjoy your heavenly reward.
He’s still getting flack, which means he’s still over the target. A little higher now I imagine. May he rest in peace.
RIP Rush - the war continues...
Me either - Rush being gone just isn’t real to me yet & when I think too hard about it, I end up crying for an hour (at least).
I hope they have security at the cemetery.
God bless you Rush. Thanks for opening my eyes so many years ago.
Rush was Reagan’s third term
I hope there are hidden security cameras to catch the sick moonbats in action if they try anything.
I can’t believe he’s gone either. So difficult to accept this.
Me either...30 year listener.
