Reagan family has arrived in Santa Monica to escort President Reagan's body to his library.
He sure did. I just wish everybody could touch the casket. I guess it is a sign of the times that we can't.
Aaaah, there you are. So nice to see you again, even though it is for such a sad occasion.
Wow, what a handome good-hearted hero America was blessed with.
We need more Ron Reagans!!
Oh, ok, "am".
My hubby remarked on how frail Nancy is and wondered how much longer she will be with us. Even though she loves her children, he was her reason for living. He never let her down, never disappointed her, always stood by her, and now he's gone.
Such a handsome man!
Sorta like Johnny Cash after June died.
Trust me--It's true.
It's difficult to tell about Ron Junior. He has lashed out at Pres Bush and a few years ago did the same to Clinton. Seems odd that they can't close the gap at this time but there are no perfect families.
Yep, I certainly can see that!
Thanks for the welcome!
So, how old is Nancy? Hasn't there always been some mystery of her true age?
I think mourning is part of death and loss, no matter how much we try to say the person is "better off" and know where he/she is. I know that's true about my grandmother--she was in more pain than we realized the last months of her life; I can tell when I look back at pictures. But I still miss her terribly, even tho I know she's in heaven, out of pain.
I like Shep Smith. He received some kind of award for being the most trusted newscaster during the Iraq war. Jay Leno invited him to the Tonight Show because of it. He appeared much more interested in what he was reporting than ANY of the others, IMO. I must have missed what he said to upset people. I like Shep best next to Bret Hume (of course). David Asman is very good also.
I think she was born in 1921.
Richard Nixon after Pat.
Yes its BEEN addictive! Even while lurking, I'd spend hours reading all of your posts! I guess I was that crazy ole Aunt that didn't quite want to come out of the attic yet!!!
Yes, I remember saying that when June passed away, that Johnny wouldn't last too long. Theirs was a love for the ages, too.
