I met her at Berings Hardware, years ago, when she was fumbling to find her credit card in her purse. We all wanted to pay her $10 bill, just to get her out of the line.

I didn’t care for her Trump or Palin hate.

Odd that she passed before HW. You just never know.

RIP.

Wife and mother of a US President, not bad. She looked good back in the day.

May Barbara Bush rest in peace. She was a dedicated, loyal spouse and a loving mother.

[Windflier]

Rest in peace, dear lady. You were the best Bush of them all.

[Avalon Memories]

I know there are a lot of people here who have nothing but anger and bitterness toward the Bush family, but Barbara was a loyal, good wife and mother for over 73 years. If nothing else, that deserves respect. I offer my sincere condolences to her family and hope she rests in peace.

When I first arrived on the FR scene, somebody told me to ‘watch out for al baby’.

Didn’t know you’d go quite that low...

Pretty darned low, I agree. Mean people suck.

73 years of marraige, quite a feat!

Wikipedia sure is fast. To this day, I have not been able to get to the article before it was already updated with the death of a celebrity. There must be Wikipedia editors with their fingers literally on the submit button!

Anyway, Barbara Bush lived to 92 years old and appears to have been healthy for most of them. Wife of a president and father of another. She had a very nice life.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

It is sad when anybody’s wife, mother and grandmother passes away. My mother died of the same ailment at the same age of 92.

[Political Junkie Too]

I hate to say this, but given how close the Bushes were, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that George passes soon, too. It seems to be a not unexpected thing for long-term married couples to pass near each other.

RIP, Barbara Bush.

[Eleutheria5]

That’s what I get for not owning a TV.

[wardaddy]

Please no tacky comments folks

[Jane Long]

I don’t see a siren on Drudge

I see Nikki Haley

So sick of the liberal Drudge. How far he has fallen.

[sparklite2]

I remember when the Bushes started getting media exposure, Barbara was often called GHWB’s mother. She always looked like she was going on eighty. RIP, classy lady.

[Nifster]

Not unexpected. Figure HW will go soon as well

[plain talk]

Yep. Expected. Prayers for the Bush family.

[Ouderkirk]

RIP Barbera,

I can’t imagine GHW Bush lasting much longer.

No, I would suspect it would be soon.
