I did an FR search and didn't see the FULL text of Patti Davis's tribute -- here it now is for all eternity....

Thank you so much for posting this. It's very lovely.

Patti really surprized me and gave a very nice eulogy new age references notwithstanding.

Patti needed more consolation than Nancy, if you ask me. When Pres. Bush said only Nancy could make Reagan lonely just by leaving the room, Patti looked like he'd run a sword through her heart.

There's a singular triumph in Patti Davis' life, that she is able to stand with her mother, enfold her, grieve with her. You'll never hear Patti Davis called a heroine, but she has defeated a monster.

Hugh Sidey has a narration of the last flight back to California. His writing pales in comparison to Patti's.

I do hope she focuses on writing in the future, she's brilliant.

I liked it all except the last sentence, with that new-agey poem, about Death, the great nurse.
According to Christian theology, death is not a nurse. It is the product of the curse of creation, and will be the last enemy to be destroyed. And we are not children of earth - we are children of God.
