The final scene of Nancy unwilling to leave the casket brought torrents of tears made worse when his children came to her aid.

She loved him more than me, and that's hard for me to imagine. We all owe him a huge debt and the only way we can pay it off is to work hard to continue the ideals and goals he had for all of America.

Agreed. We must make his legacy, our legacy, to whatever extent we can within our own spheres of influence.

Gracious, kind, respectful...but fixed in our determination to spread the blessings of liberty and peace through application of the foundational moral principles which he so abley embodied...we must come to embody them ourselves.

...and as he did, and as such strong witness was borne to this day...we can do that best by following our Saviour.

That really did me in also. I said to my husband: "This is just too intimate for the television-watching public to witness live." I thought for Nancy's sake the cameras should've been shut off during that part of the ceremony.

I've been crying off and on all week, with all the moving tributes, beautiful ceremonies and just remembering the greatness that was Ronald Reagan.
