A bit before my time, but always seemed dignified and classy. RIP.

I always liked her, and voted for her husband. He was a good President. Her son was an idiot. RIP.

She was a class act and perhaps the last of what was, the "traditional" First Lady. RIP.

There was nothing to dislike about Barbara Bush. She was a straight-talking, good person, who backed her men, no matter what they did.

She personified decorum, yes a first class act. She made her home in Houston and the town is remembering her.

Does anyone really know anything about her? I don’t ever remember hearing a peep out of her.

I’m sure she’ll be missed by her family, but I can’t think of anyone more enigmatic than Barbara Bush.

My heart goes out to George H W Bush, whom was married to Barbara for 73 years. I rather doubt that Mr. Bush will survive his wife for long, for she sustained him on every level and, with her gone, much of his reason for living will be gone.


I always liked reading about how she fell in love with Mr. Bush when she first saw him, when she was 16. She claimed he was the only man she ever kissed, a claim I implicitly believe.


RIP Barbara Bush.

Its funny.

I am no fan of Bush family politics but I've always felt like they were decent, good people. Someone I'd like to sit down and have a beer with.

Proves you don't need to agree with someone's politics in order to respect them.
