Just breaking now.

Seems like the notice of her failing health was really to announce she was declining fast.

RIP.

LionPride · Apr 17, 2018

Damn heard she was feelin better earlier this morning

Ahhthe90s · Apr 17, 2018

I didn't really know of her or what her accomplishments were during Bush's presidency, anyone care to summarize?

MIMIC · Apr 17, 2018

RIP

You can tell CNN couldn't wait to pull the trigger on their remembrance video package.

Smokeymicpot · Apr 17, 2018

That is sad. 92 is a long life.

Usually happens right before someone dies. They'll be lucid and talkative and then they'll pass away. It's weird.

Shame, though 92 is a long life and I'm sure it was full of great experiences. RIP.

Subba · Apr 17, 2018

Lol at CNN. They had a video package rolling less than two minutes after the announcement.

Thorn · Apr 17, 2018

RIP.

At least she was with family and friends and seemed prepared for it.

She led a pretty big literacy campaign for school children, encouraging them to read more.

Most of the memoriam media, eulogy, etc. is prepared ahead of time.

American legend, wife to a president, mother to another president, pretty incredible story and role to play in the history of America. RIP.

RIP.

EvilChameleon · Apr 17, 2018

RIP. You have to wonder how this will affect Mr. Bush. Hopefully he can hang in there.

My head. :/

RIP Barbara Bush... While I disagreed with a lot of her families policies she was always a Class ACT.

I truly hope that in this difficult time for the Bush Family the President can show some class and not fuck up what should be a simple gesture of sympathy.

Rest in peace.

Piggus · Apr 17, 2018

73 years of marriage is pretty incredible.

I remember this being a big deal at the time

She went to a home for HIV infected infants and hugged them and hugged adults with AIDS. Huge deal at the time, hysteria about AIDS was all over the place.

Mushroom · Apr 17, 2018

Wonder what she thought about her son being a war criminal.

When Hillary screwed up at Nancy Reagan's funeral it was pretty obvious that she was thinking of Barbara's work w HIV.

A long time to be in a marriage and a long time to be a part of this world.

Rest In Peace.

She's a legitimately amazing woman. I've met her on multiple accounts and held various conversations with her and everytime it was wonderful, she has so much perspective on everything. Truly saddening but she lived a WONDERFUL life. RIP

Cochese · Apr 17, 2018

Hell of a life. RIP

rude · Apr 17, 2018

Still giving her the side-eye for the Anita Hill and Katrina comments. Never going to forget that.

Transistor · Apr 17, 2018

RIP

She was an amazing woman
