WASHINGTON Gerald R. Ford leaves his beloved U.S. Capitol for the last time Tuesday as the period set aside for ordinary Americans to say goodbye gives way to an elaborate invitation-only funeral at the awe-inspiring Washington National Cathedral.

Bless Susan Ford Bales. Her nation watched in support as she went to the promenade, and now we watch in support and grieve with her for her Dad.
