First Lady Barbara Bush Has Died
« on: April 17, 2018, 11:54:05 pm »
1925-2018

I married the first man I ever kissed. When I tell this to my children, they just about throw up.

Barbara Bush was a fine woman; refined in taste, reserved in temperament, honorable in character, and committed to her family above all.

Rest in peace, madam.

I hope her memory is a blessing for her family.  I really admired her.

In just about every picture it shows her wearing pearls; they became her signature.  She admitted though that they were fake.  I love this picture of her ... still wearing pearls:

   Prayers up for the Bush Family.  Didn't know she was born in NYC.

Barbara Pierce was born in Manhattan. She graduated from Ashley Hall School in Charleston, South Carolina. She met George Herbert Walker Bush at age 16, and the two married in Rye, New York in 1945, while he was on leave during his deployment as a Naval officer in World War II. They had six children together. The Bush family soon moved to Midland, Texas, where George Bush entered political life.

My husband and I were talking about that and agree.

I remember that they were both hospitalized and Barbara wanted to be in the same room.

The hospital staff remarked about how much they loved each other.

The Bushes are a very close family, and this will be hard for them.

Prayers!

My favorite Barbara Bush quip was when she responded to the criticism that she didn’t wear nice clothes....

She said something like.... I wear very good clothes. I just don’t look good in them.  ^-^

I'll never forget seeing President Nixon weeping at Pat's funeral.  I think he lived another 10 months after her funeral.

Men often die after their wives do.

I especially think that will be true of GHW.

They were exceptionally close.

I am sure GHW is just devastated, they were married for 73 years!!  Yes, I anticipate that he will follow soon.

When Presidents are in the White House, they frequently sleep in separate bedrooms for obvious reasons. In the case of both Bushes, the wives slept with them.

I believe it happen soon.   There is lots of anecdotal evidence for these things happening.  Many die within days of thier spouses departing  in these matters.

Yes, they did.

Even the beloved residents of “Camelot” slept separately.  **nononono*

Both Bush couples have/had real, loving marriages.
