They aren't parting forever. Only temporarily. They WILL be reunited again.

Very emotional ending and very touching..the love, dedication and care of the wife for her husband. One gets the sense that she is even so inclined as to want to carry him to the arms of God if she could.

[VOA]

To Ronnie, the man who brought America back from the brink.

Twice.

I'd give RR the triple play:
1. From the brink of economic collapse
2. From the brink of military collapse/nuclear war
3. From the brink of despair; maybe putting new wind in our sails to "stay the course"
with the difficult work ahead.

[Maigrey]

I bid everyone of my FReeper family good night, and thanks for sharing the Kleenex, and the fond memories!

[Windcatcher]

Did anyone else notice Arnold cross himself? I was baptized Greek Orthodox (though brought up Catholic), and that looked like one for the Eastern Church.

[MEG33]

Well said.

[ConservativeMan55]

Beautiful!!!!

[PhiKapMom]

Looked like it to me! There is Mickey Rooney saluting.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon them
A hymn, O God, becometh Thee in Zion
And a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem
Hear my prayer
All flesh shall come before you.

Catholic Requiem Mass. Lovely words, regardless of sect.

[gas_dr]

Chart and compass come from thee, Jesus Savior Pilot me...

[pettifogger]

They aren't parting forever. Only temporarily. They WILL be reunited again.

I do not believe the good Lord will make her wait long.

[clarissaexplainsitall]

Do they do that in some Easter European orthodoxies or am I making that up?

[socal_parrot]

Chris Wallace: Will this be as iconic as the Kennedy funeral?

Historian: Without a doubt.

[arasina]

Mickey Rooney just saluted him in the casket.

[cajungirl]

Is this an odd arrangement of Rock of Ages or something else. A hymn I don't know,,,

[azGOPgal]

That is when I completely lost it, too. I can't even imagine having to share her grief with the rest of the world.

[oyez]

A moment of victory. There were so many occasions with our struggle against the Red machine where we seemed a little short. We were discouraged, but we had just a little further to go. Ronald Wilson Reagan led us just a little further.

[the Deejay]

"Ronald Reagan, Jr. used the pulpit at his Father's funeral to slam George W. Bush. That's the bottom line."

omg! What did he say?? I missed that part.
