Barbara Bush Passes

Former First Lady Barbara Bush died last night at her home in Houston at the age of 92.

America has lost a first lady. She was the wife of one president, and the mother of another. Born in 1925, Barbara Bush would marry the first man she ever kissed, George H.W. Bush. They would live in Texas at first, but George Bush’s political career would take them around the world. It was a life that would eventually take them to the White House, where her attention turned to literacy. She is being remembered this morning as a First Lady who had a grandmotherly image, but one who was never afraid to speak her mind. There will be a private funeral for Mrs. Bush on Saturday in Houston.
