George W. Bush: “We respect your mom and dad, we admire your mom and dad, and we pray for your mom and dad.”

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

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

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

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