I read Mrs. Bush had decided a long time ago who would be giving the eulogy at her memorial service today
Jeb Bush,Susan Baker,family friend and presidential historian,Jon Meacham who wrote book'American Odyssey of Pres.George H.W.Bush" in 2015

I loved her inaugural ball gown-

Sad day not only for her passing but to be reminded there are those that respect nothing and no one.

There will be no glowing eulogy from me. As far as I am concerned she was the Ma Barker of the Bush Crime Family.

Well for certain she was no Hillary.

Please keep the political innuendo out of this thread.

The service was lovely; a real tribute to Mrs. Bush. I particularly enjoyed Meacham's comments.

I don't like her either.

I was wiping away tears in some parts of service.I got a chuckle when Jon Meacham told funny story when Mrs. Bush mistaken him for the author,JOhn Grisham at a book signing event a couple yrs ago. Jeb Bush's eulogy to his mom was moving and funny.I thought it was wonderful for the Bush family to invite former Presidents&spouses to attend,it rarely happens for a former 1st lady. Pres Carter and his wife couldn't attend because he was out of the country she was recovering from recent surgery.
I thought service was moving,funny and uplifting perfect way to send her off. Sue

Silence in this case would have been a far better choice.
