"She looks a bit 'unemotional' yes."

After the long illness, she has nothing left. Trust me, I know. I watched my father slowly die from cancer over a 6 year period. My mother looked exactly the same way.

Nancy may have accepted some mild sedation on the advice of her physician, just to get through this ordeal. I know I would even though I do not take sedatives.

Nancy has been through hell. She saw her husband become a distant figure who didn't know her, until, perhaps at the very end. When the end came, it is said that she felt something like relief. I would not blame her. Her great husband, the Man who destroyed the Soviet Empire, had passed into History. But not before suffering in the worst, most protracted way. His mind had gone. However, at the end, all was not lost. His immortal soul had returned to its rightful Owner.

I have said in these past days that excessive mourning for Reagan is not appropriate. Rather, I shall paraphrase General Patton, and thank God that Ronald Wilson Reagan lived.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
