“In a life of good fortune, he valued above all the gracious gift of his wife, Nancy. During his career, Ronald Reagan passed through a thousand crowded places; but there was only one person, he said, who could make him lonely by just leaving the room,” Bush said.
On Sunday, news broke that Nancy Reagan had passed away, ending what had become a tumultuous decade, filled with moments of poor health since her husbands passing.
Mrs. Reagan passed away of congestive heart failure at age 94.
