George W. Bush: “May God bless you all and your families.”

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

Mr. Wyeth captured America in his paintings of his native Pennsylvania and Maine.

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.

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