Could an alternate source for this text be found than the anti-FR LA Times? After all, I doubt that Nancy Reagan was paid by the LAT for her letter or considered a staffer.

Ronnie Touched So Many Of Us 7/04/04
Nancy Reagan
In the last 30 days I have experienced an extraordinary outpouring of sympathy and love from old friends — and new — across the country and around the world. So much has happened to warm the hearts of everyone in my family. It is not easy to find a way to express our appreciation. Ronnie would have said, "Just tell them." So, although it has been the saddest and most difficult of times, I want you to know that we are comforted by the prayers, the support and all the love.
So many people played a role in making the funeral events possible, and I wish I could thank each and every one of you individually. To those of you who honored my husband by participating, you have my deep appreciation. He would have been proud of your loyalty and humbled by the tremendous expression of affection.

Beautiful.
Beautiful letter.
Everyone should go to this link and click on pictures from the funeral.
It is a slide show of images from President Reagan's funeral and it is accompanied by "Mansions of the Lord".
Take tissues with you.

Thank you for the link.
Now I have bookmarked this thread.
Slick Wille touched quite a few also in many different ways.
A very nice letter. Perfect for the occasion. Prayers for Mrs. Reagan during this difficult time.

I saw that thread some time ago. When I play it, the tears return.
In 1971 I sat one klick away from the East West German border; it was the ugliest thing I had ever seen. When the wall finally fell, I thought of Ronald Reagan. What an accomplishment of his!
How few men can look back over their lifetime and know that they gave somebody their liberty? He was the leader this world needed at the time we needed him.
In the funeral tribute, you saw the love and respect that his fellow Americans bestowed upon him. It is something I will never forget.
God Bless Nancy Reagan
It is beautiful. Thanks for the ping onyx.
She submitted it as a private letter just like every other reader does. It was NOT published in the op-ed section.
A lump in the throat and a Bump To The Top...
Nancy Reagan's public grace in this time of her personal grief, once again shines through. Thanks for posting this.

"Take tissues with you."
No kidding. Every time I look at these pictures the tears start flowing. I loved Reagan and what he stood for.
Thanks so much for the link. You're right, the tears were running down my face through the whole thing!
Good music to put with that, I think.
Nancy is one class act, a wonderful example for all American wives.
In Reagan's memory, I feel the stem cell research ban should be lifted, per Nancy's request.
I love that music. That's what they were playing when they moved President Reagan's casket out of the National Cathedral.
Notice that they will have the DVD of the Memorial Events from the same site......
