Barbara Bush, former first lady, dead (RIP)
Fox News. com ^ | April 18, 2018

With her cloud of snow-white hair, signature three strand pearls and compelling presence, Barbara Bush's image was what she laughingly called "everybody's grandmother." But the feisty, outspoken Bush was also a tireless advocate for literacy , an author, experienced campaigner and both wife and mother of a U.S. president.

Bush, 92, died Tuesday, shortly after her family announced she was in failing health and would decline further medical treatment in favor of “comfort care.” There were no details of her specific health problems.

She is survived by her husband of 73 years, former President George H.W. Bush, five children (a sixth died as a toddler), 17 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Her granddaughter, Jenna Bush Hager, told NBC Monday that she and her twin, Barbara, named after her grandmother, had spoken with the family matriarch Sunday night and “she’s in great spirits, and she’s a fighter and she’s an enforcer.”

Barbara Bush was born June 8, 1925, in New York City, the third of four children of Marvin Pierce, a magazine publishing executive, and Pauline Robinson Pierce. She grew up in the affluent suburb of Rye, New York, where she was an avid athlete, excelling at swimming and tennis.

Comfort Care is an euphaisum for o er dosing with pain killers.

But she had a very good run and it’s sad to see her go.

Looks to me that ‘Conservatives’ are doing a good job! Guess there is going to be a long line of people ready to stand and line and violate her grave.

I believe it was the Pulmonary problem that took her out.
My mother went the same way. She suffocated

Rest In Peace.

That’s all I will say. I’m sorry people in general have to lose beloved family members; it’s very sad.

The woman had CLASS.

Unlike another so called first lady named Hillary. Hillary has no idea what the word class really means.
