I found Bush's last comment so moving and appropriate: "HE who names the stars also knows the names of those we mourn."

I gasped aloud as tears filled my eyes at the perfection of selecting that verse, then the president added that God knew the astronauts by name, too, and they are Home.

GW's closing was so wonderful, (I might be paraphrasing a bit):

It seems the crew of Columbia has not returned safely to earth, but we pray that they are home.
