After watching the private Reagan family viewing on CSPAN, They showed Michael Reagan entering and giving his respects ALL BY HIMSELF. I don't know if that was because of schedule,or because of some sort of estranged family problem......

I have noted a coolness on the part of the second Reagans toward Mike, or else there has been a reticence on his part to inject himself into their affairs and they've honored it or welcomed it. It makes me sad. He was adopted by Ron and Jane (Wyman) Reagan, who divorced while he was still pretty young. I read somewhere or heard him say on his radio show something that gave me the idea that this coolness existed, although Mike didn't put it that way. He said something about sitting on the curb waiting for his dad to come and visit him after the divorce, and some other things that gave the impression of distance.

Based on an interview I just saw of Michael on Hannity, I can see why there might be some distance. He has clearly become born again, and was seeming to say to his siblings is that they should also become born again for their father, so he can enjoy all of his children in heaven.
