George W. Bush: “Laura and I send our condolences to all whose hearts are filled with grief this New Year's Day.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

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

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.

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.
