Statement by the President and the First Lady
Nancy
Reagan once wrote that nothing could prepare you for living in the
White House. She was right, of course. But we had a head start,
because
we were fortunate to benefit from her proud example, and her warm and
generous advice.
Our
former First Lady redefined the role in her time here. Later, in her
long goodbye with President Reagan, she became a voice on behalf of
millions
of families going through the depleting, aching reality of Alzheimer’s,
and took on a new role, as advocate, on behalf of treatments that hold
the potential and the promise to improve and save lives.
We
offer our sincere condolences to their children, Patti, Ron, and
Michael, and to their grandchildren. And we remain grateful for Nancy
Reagan's
life, thankful for her guidance, and prayerful that she and her beloved
husband are together again.
