George W. Bush: “And the work hasn't been easy, but it has been necessary for American security, Iraqi hope, and world peace.”

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.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.

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

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.
