Applause is a sign of respect.

I remember seeing Pope Paul VI being applauded as his body was taken into St. Peter's for burial.

Applause for Nancy. She appreciates, I think, the outpouring of "support" (for want of a better word).

I'm really teary eyed. She's mighty strong, to do this for the country.

They are sending their love to Nancy Reagan and telling her how much they appreciate her husband!

This is a wonderful thing and will help her a great deal.

It was for Mrs. Reagan...along with the shouts "We Love You, Nancy!"

Strange, but here's how I took it. They knew the hell Nancy had been through tending to her husband for the last ten years, and that was their way of showing their respect to her.

Get it through your head....this is not a funeral.

The funeral is Friday.
