It's easy to keep civil......she was like everyone's grandma. Great lady, champion for literacy, graceful, self deprecating; you always got the sense she cared deeply for her fellow man. The world is lesser with her passing. RIP

I always liked that Barbara Bush had a lot of spine. She didn't take anything from anyone, including her President husband and son. First ladies can get marginalized and made nearly pathetic, no names mentioned. But Barbara Bush wasn't taking it. Some of her remarks were real "broken bottles," but no one ignored her.

What snowyowl said X 1,000,000,000. Perhaps she should have been the first female President. Wow.

That's a fact. I had the good fortune to meet her on several occasions when I worked at a newspaper. She should have been President, but she was too smart to let that happen to her.

She was an intelligent woman with a big heart and a great sense of humor. She will be missed.

I've never heard anyone who has met her personally say a bad word about her. That's good enough for me. Rest in peace.
