Former 1st Lady Nancy Reagan Dies At 94

CNN.com:

Former first lady Nancy Reagan, who joined her husband on a storybook journey from Hollywood to the White House, died Sunday.

She was 94.

Reagan died at her home in Los Angeles of congestive heart failure, according to her spokeswoman, Joanne Drake of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

"Mrs. Reagan will be buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, next to her husband, Ronald Wilson Reagan, who died on June 5, 2004. Prior to the funeral service, there will be an opportunity for members of the public to pay their respects at the library," Drake said in a statement.

The former first lady requested that contributions be made to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Foundation in lieu of flowers, the statement said. 

I can still remember the ever graceful and poised Mrs. Reagan when she appeared on an episode of Differen't Strokes as part of her 'Jusy Say No' campaign back when I was a kid. For liberals who never believe in self-responsbility, her passing will be met with scorn, but for conservatives was nothing but a woman of great passion, loyalty and love/dedication to her husband. Condolences to the Reagan family for their loss.
