“I would like to take this time to speak about and reflect on the wonderful life of our former First Lady Barbara Bush. To those who knew her, they knew the amount of love and kindness she exemplified every single day on this Earth. She was a caring and compassionate wife, mother, and grandmother who displayed true devotion to her country in all phases of her life. I had the great honor of knowing Mrs. Bush and her family. I have many fond memories of summertime with her and President Bush that my family and I will cherish forever. On April 21, the day she was laid to rest in Houston, Texas, the congregation in that church and people all around the Nation remembered her with great fondness and admiration. Our country is better because of Mrs. Bush. She will always be missed, but she will never be forgotten. I hope all of you in this Chamber will join me for a moment of silence to remember the life and legacy of former First Lady Barbara Bush. May God bless the Bush family and may God bless this great Nation that is better because of her. ____________________”
