    RIP Barbara Bush

    One of the classiest and feistiest First Lady's I have ever known. She was tough, yet tender and we lost a good one today.

    I was just reading today of her decision to choose "comfort care" over continued medical care for her ailments...It was never specified, but I think it referred to hospice care, of which I recently learned a great deal...R.I.P......Ben

    The thing that gets my respect is that comfort care request, that's the one thing I want and should not die in the hospital. She for for sure the most respected first lady in our modern times.

    Yes, comfort care is hospice in other words....along the same lines as Palliative care......

    Very special people work in these worlds, they are sooo emotionally draining it takes extra special people....

    Not to take anything away from Nancy Reagan, she too was a class act. But I'm thinking had the roles of Barbara Bush and her husband been reversed, we would had one hell of a president with an OK first husband! She was nothing but a tough class act. RIP
