“I am reminded of a time in Texas when we were at a breakfast, and we had two groups. We had a group that was very close to Jeb Bush, the Governor of Florida, and one that was close to George W. Bush. Mrs. Bush was our guest speaker, and she spoke. When she opened up for questions, one of the questions was: Mrs. Bush, a lot of us in here know Jeb better than George; we know George better than Jeb. How are they alike? How do they differ? Mrs. Bush said she had been blessed to have a great family, but she said these words: You could put all my boys together, and they would not equal their father. I thought that was powerful. On November 30, 2018, America lost a great servant, and I lost a great friend. President Bush epitomized everything wonderful about America, and like his country, he was tough, strong, and kind. Over the years, I was able to get to know the President and his family very well. My family and I had the opportunity to visit them in Kennebunkport many summers. Our days were spent playing basketball and sailing on the water, sharing and listening to President Bush's stories until the sun went down. I remember one basketball game. My daughters were playing, and they didn't have any tennis shoes. Mrs. Bush went and got her tennis shoes and gave them to my daughters.…”
