For once in my life I wish oh how I wish with my whole heart that words could pull out of me what I truly feel. As a woman, I want to thank you for being such a superb role model for girls and women everywhere as to what being a wife is really all about. As an American, I want to thank you deeply for doing what we, President Reagan's grass roots supporters, could not. We could vote for him, campaign for him, crusade for him. Only you could protect and support him personally throughout his public life. You shared him with us, and let him be the man of the people as he was born to become. Your grace, dignity, charm and humor matched his, and this particular American loves you for that.
Now, as you go through this last bit of the journey with your husband, please know that those of us who were his political foot soldiers walk every step of the way with you in deep sorrw and profound gratitude. But also with enormous pride at what we accomplished together by having the courage and foresight to follow President Ronald Wilson Reagan.

To: Wolfstar
President Reagan's legacy was a restored and rejuvenated America, after years of malaise. "Better loved ye cannot be." He is receiving his reward in Heaven, where a place has been reserved for him.
To: Wolfstar
As everyone has undoubtedly heard before... For every great man there stands a great woman next to him.
We all know why Mr. Reagan was able to achieve greatness.
You.
God Bless you and your family, Mrs. Reagan.
To: Wolfstar
This man is a personal hero. May his convictions playout in future administrations. May his charm and optimism be made a part of each of us. May his courage be shown in all our actions. May his legacy live forever.

Words are inadequate to express my feelings. I want to offer Mrs. Reagan and the family my warmest best wishes. I also want to say that Roanld Reagan made me even prouder to be an American. I thank God that Mr. Reagan was there to serve our nation (and the world) at a time when he was so badly needed. He will be truly missed, but I rejoice that he rests in the arms of the Father.

Mrs. Reagan...our prayers are for the rest of your husband by His Saviour and for your peace and comfort by the same.
Myself, my son and my Mom are driving down from Idaho to be there on Firday, June 11th in the hopes we can see them bring your husband home. We shall stay until Sunday in the hopes that his grave site is open so we can pay our respects.
God bless you, mam, for being the love and support your husband needed through the long years of his service so late in your lives. God bless you for that service...we have all benefited and thank God for you. God bless Ronald Reagan...the best American man and blood of our age...the best President in my lifetime and in the 20th century by far...and one of the two best presidents of all time.
Please accept our humble condolences and our gratitude.
God bless you, mam...and as your husband would say...God bless America.

(Pres Reagan...your memory and impact have not dimmed...only aged and grown stronger!)
To: Vic3O3
Dear Mrs. Reagan and Family,
Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God comfort and bless you. Your family has given so much to this great country that we can only try to return some of what has been given.
It was my great honor to have served in the United States Marine Corps during a time when President Reagan was my Commander In Chief. President Reagan personified the ideals of leadership that the Marine Corps instilled in me. To this day I look to his many examples of leadership.
President Reagan's faith was incredible to see. Having recently come to Christ it is now easy to see that President Reagan understood and exemplified Christ's idea of servant leadership.
We can also rest assured that there is now more laughter in heaven. President Reagan's wit and humour was an amazing gift from God that he used so well.
Again, may God bless you and your family.
Semper Fidelis

To: Wolfstar
Dear Mrs. Reagan,
I cannot adequately express my admiration and love for what your husband did for this country. He made us proud to be Americans, and although his presidency is now past, the love of America he gave us all endures.
I also want to thank you for allowing us to share this farewell to your husband. Your care for him through his last years, your protection of his privacy, and your willingness to bear this burden is a profound inspiration. Please know that you and your family will always remain in my prayers.
To: Wolfstar
May God bless you and keep you close to his Sacred Heart. We know He blessed this great country of ours in the manner of your husband, Ronald Reagan. A prince of a man who inspired millions. A man who was right when everyone was telling him he was wrong. A man who stood upright when others told him to bend. A voice of clarity and truth in a world of confusion and lies. A man of forgiveness in a world of revenge. A man, a husband, a father, a leader. We weep with you; we honor his memory with you; we will remember.
God's peace shine upon you and God Bless the United States of America
To: Wolfstar
Nancy, your devotion to Ronald has been an inspiration to me. Your strength has been an inspiration to me. Your love story a picture of devotion we should all strive for. I admire you beyond my ability to describe to you.
You will be in my prayers as you go through this difficult time. May God richly bless you.
To: Wolfstar
She is an amazing woman. To have the emotional strength and desire to make a gesture like that at a time like this for her just shows how blessed we were to have her as a first lady.

Dear Mrs Reagan,
It was an honor to have you as my first lady and your husband as the first president I could vote for.
Ronald's role as President of the United States was a calling, and he did it well. You are both an inspiration and you both make me want to be a better person.
