Yep....blubbering here as well. Mine started when Nancy leaned on the coffin one last time.

Yep, I felt a little uneasy as if they should have turned off the cameras. It was such a private moment of grief and we (the viewers) were voyeur's (sp?).

Yep me too- that last song was just a killer!! Anyone know what it was? It sounded like movie music. The music had me going and then she looked at the coffin going back down the aisle and it was all i could do in a room of colleagues not to blubber completely!

Oh, me too - sniffles before then but lost it when she looked up at her children with that lost look - camera shutters exploded then too.

That is the pic we will be seeing.

Yes. Me too. This week has been filled with different moments. However, at that moment, I just couldn't hold it back anymore. I don't think I have cried like that since my Papaw passed.

Funny thing...it is really as almost as if a member of my own family died.

Well, in a way, that's the way most of us feel.

That's when I started crying, too. I've been on the edge of tears for several days because of watching so much of the funeral activities, but when she put her cheek on the casket, I burst out crying. I loved Reagan. We all felt so safe when he was president. Everything started looking up, people had pride in our nation again, everyone was doing better financially. He was so great. I feel fortunate to have lived while he was president.

My Dad passed away several years ago and I wept very deeply at that point also. It is the point of "finality".

I wept deeply several times during the service. Oh how much I loved this man...

That's what did it for me. Then the kids came running up and hugged her and I really lost it.
