    Sad to see that she passed.

    She was truly a class act, someone I wish more people paid attention to how she conducted herself.

    RIP Mrs. Bush.

    I once worked at Barbara Bush Middle School and met her when we had the naming dedication. She held my daughter who was a little less than a year old at the time and commented that she must be walking because she had on rubber sole shoes. Good memory for me and my family.

    A class act who made a difference.

    Just saw GW on TV. He said he was visiting his Mom last week. She turned to the Dr. and said, do you know why George is the way he is? GW said, the Dr. looked somewhat perplexed and replied, no. She said, because I smoked and drank when I was pregnant with him. Now we know what was wrong with GW....LOL.


    RIP Mrs. Bush

    May she RIP, she had good long life and shared the majority of it with the love of her life. Can't ask for more than that.

    I don't think he will last much longer now that she is gone.

    GHWB and Barbara are both very well respected in the Houston community. Not only did they serve their country reverently they never lost focus from their parenting duties. Ms Bush was the model first- and second-lady of the US.
