Former first Lady Barbara Bush died on Tuesday at the age of 92, after she elected to receive ‘comfort care’ over additional medical treatments following a series of hospitalisations.
A statement issued by the office of former President George H.W. Bush said that Barbara “has been a rock in the face of her failing health, worrying not for herself, but for others”.
Former President George W. Bush also released a statement saying “Laura, Barbara, Jenna, and I are sad, but our souls are settled because we know hers was. Barbara Bush was a fabulous First Lady and a woman unlike any other who brought levity, love, and literacy to millions.”
