Time wrote:Barbara Bush, the beloved wife and mother of two former presidents, died at the age of 92 on Tuesday.
The former First Lady and former President George H.W. Bush had the longest-lasting marriage in presidential history – 73 years. As the Bush family matriarch, Barbara Bush dropped out of college to follow her childhood sweetheart – and kept following as he went from the House of Representatives to the United Nations, the Central Intelligence Agency, the office of Vice President and, finally, the White House.
Her son George W. Bush became the 43rd President of the United States, while another son, Jeb Bush, served as governor of Florida and unsuccessfully sought the presidency in 2016. In total, she had 6 children and 14 grandchildren.
RIP Barbara Bush

“Barbara Bush was a nasty drunk. When it came to drinking she made Betty Ford look like Carrie Nation #blottoBabs,” said Stone. “Barbara Bush drank so much booze, if they cremated her … her body would burn for three days.”

Re: RIP Barbara Bush
By all accounts from those who knew her, Barbara Bush was an anachronism in the world of politics. A truly nice, classy and graceful person. RIP.

I think what he did was just as disrespectful as what Stone and Randa did. Look, we all KNOW you hate trump. That includes you, bob-tel.

The funeral also coincided with one of the most revered days at A&M, Aggie Muster, where at a formal ceremony, every Aggie that died in the passed year is honored by having their name called and someone in the audience answers "Here!" for them.
