Ronald Reagan Dies at 93

[dogbyte12]

ABC just announced :( Ronald Reagan was 93

[Barlowmaker]

Don't go over there - stay here and grieve with us. Let them fester in bile by themselves.

Agreed. That place is a cesspool.

Ronald Reagan Candlelight Vigil

Exactly.

[celtic gal]

Anyone know the address where messages of sympathy can be sent?

[Wyatt's Torch]

I would like to think that would be true......

[b9]

I know what you mean.
Even knowing he'd taken a turn last night, it was still a shock and my eyes keep welling up.

Makes me more determined than ever to keep his legacy polished every way possible.

Reagan would never have sent Elian Gonzalez back to Castro.

How I loved that man.
I am at peace that he is at peace, but it still hurts.

Buy a bag of jellybeans, and keep them on your desk..

May GOD bless Ronald Reagan and be close to his family, loved ones, those who loved him and his Beloved Republic.

I feel a great sadness. An important player in history has just left us.

My sympathies to Nancy and the family.

[Inspectorette]

Take a candle with you...

What a beautiful idea - imagine a candlelight vigil at the White House with thousands of candles.

Wish I could be there, but Mr. Inspectorette and I will definitely be going to the Reagan Library for his laying in state, hope we'll be able to get within a mile of it

[Miss Marple]

Thank you. I just sent a condolence message.

[Gary Seven]

God bless his soul.

"I hope my Dad who passed last year is getting to meet his personal hero."

Re #535: what a wonderful post. It certainly brought fresh tears to my eyes. No one appreciates freedom more than a person who's lived under communism.

I have a funny story, kind of an aside. I'm half Czech (my dad's side). After World War II, our family was sending care packages over to the family in Czechoslovakia.

Anyway, at some point, the Czech side wrote to the American side: "In the next box, could you send some tennis balls?"

My grandfather said, "heck, if they have time to play tennis, we don't need to send them boxes of food anymore!" :)

I hope you don't mind the humor. :)

Pres. Reagan certainly had a great sense of humor.

Perhaps President Bush will do that or at least quote from it. Both he and President Reagan are LIKABLE and OPTIMISTC Patriots who contain within themselves "the faith of our fathers." I love them both for believing in the greatness and destiny of America UNDER GOD.

Their carping critics reveal themselves to be but pygmies stalking these giants.

Great picture. Off to the sunset.

I just checked a few minutes ago, and there was no announcement, but there may be a way to reach him there.

[faithincowboys]

What a real hero. This is the first President of my Life. America needs more Ronald Reagans.

This is a link to the Reagan Library, Letter to Nancy...

Into the bosom of God.

I am forced to wonder when the Oscars come around this year, whether they will honor this man in their tribute to those who passed in the previous year. I also wonder, if they do, if their hatred for the man will overwhelm their decency and show itself in distasteful rancor.
