So sad. I’ve been crying just out of the blue today. This is the reason, behind all the politics we now face, we must never forget the Reagans are a reminder of our best selves.
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — Nancy Reagan began her final journey to her husband’s side Wednesday as a police motorcade carried her casket down an empty freeway lined with saluting firefighters and mourners holding hands over their hearts in tribute to the former first lady.
The roadside reverence reflected her late husband’s touch with the common man and followed some of the route his own funeral procession took in 2004, eventually winding its way up to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where volunteers in blue jackets stood behind a guardrail festooned with small American flags.
The day began with a private ceremony for family and close friends at a funeral home in Santa Monica, followed by a public viewing at the library…

You were not the only one Tammy. I cried watching the honor guard taking her inside the library. Very moving.
The Reagans unleashed the greatness of America’s potential and made us proud. Watching on TV, one could not help but notice Ronald Reagan’s statue outside standing guard. The Reagan Library is a fitting tribute to the Reagans and a beautiful and appropriate setting for their final resting place. I cried when I stood in front of President Reagan’s grave and I cried today.
