George W. Bush: “Each child matters. Every child has potential.”

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.
