I saw Mrs. Reagan on the tube a few minutes ago. For all I know, this is the first time she's been out of the house in years. sigh
She goes out to certain events.
The wonderful thing for Nancy Reagan all this time is that they've had very, very old and loving friends...like Merv Griffin who owned half of Las Vegas up until recently. So when they ran out of money or whatever, people like Griffin were there for them, and for Nancy, of course, esp. when RR came down with Alzheimer's. She has had many helping hands, thank God. Otherwise, ten years of watching the man you love disappear before your eyes would surely drive you insane. Friends who made you go out to lunch or dinner, who stopped in several times a week or called daily. They never let her or RR down, bless them. And Merv Griffin is one of the pall bearers. What an honor. Gosh. It's really like George Washington dying...same reaction from America. We're lost without him. GW has to fill some mighty big boots.
