I thought it was so sweet at the funeral how the Pres. escorted Nancy Reagan the last little bit to her seat in the National Cathedral.I did too. There were sooo many moments during the days from Wednesday through Friday when I lost it. I did okay through most of the funeral service in DC, till the camera FINALLY showed Mike Reagan, and he was standing, with his hand over his heart, while the casket was taken away, and his face was broken with grief, and his wife was also crying.

There were so many touching moments, and many moments that showed how wonderful, and caring, our President and First Lady are.
I can't think of a single very favorite moment, as there were so many. I did tape everything; the funerals I taped on two different channels! (FOX had the best--IMO--commentary or lack thereof, but MSNBC often had the best pictures). My husband hasn't watched the Calif. funeral yet so I'm sure I'll be watching it wiht him.
I think my favorite part of the whole week was the unabashed, unashamed inclusion of God, faith, religion, prayers, etc. included in every part of it--just how it should be.
