You were truly a class act who always carried yourself with the utmost dignity. You truly set the standard by which all other First Ladies will be measured.
 
I am neither a Christian nor a person of faith any longer. But I understand that Barbara Bush was. And so I thought this might be appropriate in her remembrance.




Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me.

I need thy presence every passing hour. What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears not bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Rest in Peace, Mrs. Bush. You were a wonderful wife, mother, and First Lady.
 
She lived a long, full life, which is good. I hope her family finds peace in the wake of her death.
 
She was something special. I do not expect to see another like her in the WH in my lifetime.........:(
