Had been kind of waiting for this. One of the most unique things about him (to me) was the exceptional connection he and Barbara seemed to have. Of any of the presidents I can recall, their relationship seemed to be almost seamless. I always kinda' figured when one of the passed, the other would be relatively close behind.

A life well lived, and his country well served. Rest in peace Mr. President, and we thank you.

Yes, Rest In Peace Mr. President. As a Canadian looking south I always said, regardless of our political differences George W. Bush was a classy man, as well as The First Lady. Talk about the classic American success story, theirs's was one.

G H W Bush was a great man. You have to be a patriot to apply for that job (most of the time). May he rest in peace.

4141 is a nifty lookin' locomotive. I didn't know they had done that - saw some photos of the President in the engine itself this afternoon. Very nice. Read a little on the history of presidential funeral trains too. This was the first in about 50 years.
