George W. Bush: “I'm glad to have received it.”

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

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.

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

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