The last great president (no offense President Bush) has passed into God's waiting arms. May he be blessed in his eternal reward, and may his family know God's love and peace in their time of sorrow.

...[that] sterling light, [that] great shining beacon on a hill has gone out.

No it hasn't, Jeff, because the entire meaning and purpose of Ronald Reagan's public life was to make sure it didn't. He was there to "pass the torch"; from "the Greatest Generation" to its descendants two generations "behind." God bless Ronald Reagan for his intelligence, wisdom, humanity, and undeniable ability in the highest executive office on the face of this planet. He literally changed the dynamics of the world, for the better -- in the interests of liberty, peace, and justice.

But we must not fail to recognize the fact that Ronald Reagan, when things got dicey, got plenty of help from like-minded friends -- Prime Minister of Great Britain Margaret Thatcher; and His Holiness the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, John Paul II. May God bless all of these extraordinary human beings.

Somehow I'm tempted to feel that Ronald Reagan's passing leaves the world the poorer. He was a man of principle and impeccable devotion to the ideas that made and make America a truly great country and society.

But then I think, judging by his record which is now history, he did successfully manage to "pass the baton" to succeeding generations. If that is so then, God willing, America will persist and flourish for yet another 200 years.

God Bless America. And God Bless Ronald Reagan.

I doubt if many of us would be around today if Ronald Reagan had not been our president for two years.

If Jimmy Carter had served for one more term:

Our military would have been weakened beyond repair.

Our economy would have been destroyed.

The language of our land would have been Russian, Mandarian and Farsi.

President Reagan buried the Soviet Bear and contained the other communists.

President Reagan was a good and gentle man, who loved America and his fellow Americans.



God Bless you President Reagan!

Wow, I just found out. Even though he's suffered with the disease for so long, and has been out of sight, I still feel stunned of the country's loss. Goodbye, Mr. President.

President Ronald Reagan inspired Americans across the political spectrum by his words and example. He demonstrated his faith in God, the people, and the nation toward the purposes of freedom and prosperity.

May the rekindled memories at his passing continue to inspire millions.

I've been viewing the quotes and pictures for the past couple of hours, feeling sad that he has passed, but more joyful that God blessed us with his leadership and wisdom.

Those are wonderful things you said about President Reagan, but to me the most important thing he did was to make me feel safe. I miss you, Mr. President.

The only lasting tribute that comes to mind is to be deserving of the world that he gave to us and the principles for which he fought. Being bold, optimistic, industrious, focused, and gentlemanly in endeavours. Excelsior and godspeed, Mr. President.
