Does anyone have the transcript of the statement by Michael Reagan on his father's passing? I heard it read on Fox News, but cannot find it anywhere.

I've been looking for it - have not been able to find it.
WHY IS FR NOT POSTING A TRIBUTE ON THE HOME PAGE YET
Michael Reagan: "I pray that as America reflects on the passing of my Dad, they will remember a man of integrity, conviction and good humor that changed America and the world for the better. He would modestly say the credit goes to others, but I believe the credit is his.
"What I will remember is a man that changed my life. He was always there for me when I needed him. He had a way of putting everything into perspective, and I believe that his determination and perseverance came from his relationship with the Lord. He played an important role in pointing me to God."
JimRob is probably still editing it.
The FR folks are out in Cali...I bet some of them are out showing their support in person.
Statement from Michael Reagan Regarding his Father’s Passing
LOS ANGELES, CA: The following statement was released by Michael Reagan today. Further inquiries should be directed to Floyd Brown at (805) 957-1980 or (805) 252-6893.
I remember with great clarity my father’s emotion when Nelle Reagan, my grandmother, passed away. Until today I didn’t understand the feeling of loss and pain which comes when a parent leaves you. For this reason I will not be making any public statements at this time.
I pray that as America reflects on the passing of my Dad, they will remember a man of integrity, conviction and good humor that changed America and the world for the better. He would modestly say the credit goes to others, but I believe the credit is his.
What I will remember is a man that changed my life. He was always there for me when I needed him. He had a way of putting everything into perspective, and I believe that his determination and perseverance came from his relationship with the Lord. He played an important role in pointing me to God.
I am secure in the knowledge that he is with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in heaven. The greatest gift my father ever gave me was the simple knowledge that I would see him in heaven one day.
Michael Reagan will not be making additional statements at this time. Members of the press are invited to visit his father’s ranch, Rancho del Cielo, in Santa Barbara, California. For more information please contact Floyd Brown at (805) 957-1980.
Thank you for the full version. It appears that Fox News did quite a bit of editing on their site.
You're welcome. :`)
I heard all of it read on FoxNews when it was first issued.
CNN left out all the references to God and only read the first two paragraphs.
