Such a tragic thing to report, going into the weekend.
One of my favorite pictures of Gerald Ford and the First Lady
I started to fire up Microsoft Word and write some nice sounding speech, with flowery words and nice phrases in it. However, I will just keep it simple.
First lady Betty Ford has passed on at 93.
Betty Ford was, to many, a symbol, of strength, of courage, of overcoming big obstacles and of; yes, Hope.
At 93, she lived a life that some only could dream of living. She was, in fact, thrust into the First Lady’s office, when Nixon resigned and our Nation was in turmoil for his so-called misdeeds.
I found this video on YouTube. I think it is most fitting:
Rest in Peace, Dear Lady. As God Knows, you have damned well earned it.
