Barbara Bush was a kind, unassuming woman… of that there is a little doubt.

Mrs. Bush was also one to recognize the efforts of those around her, once making her Secret Service detail stop on the side of the road so she could thank the officers protecting her during her ride.

One Agent’s Recollections
Now that Mrs. Bush has passed, more and more stories of her astounding character are being revealed.

Jonathan Wackrow was one of the agents that had been assigned to Mrs. Bush from time to time and he saw just how kind she was firsthand.

After working the night shift guarding the family at their summer residence, Mrs. Bush appeared towards the end of his shift.

While many politicians simply ignore the efforts of their protective detail, that was not the case with Mrs. Bush.

She approached the agent and said, “Well, it’s a good morning for me, but it looks like you have been up all night, so I will wish you a good night’s sleep.”

Long after the Bush’s had left the White House, Agent Wackrow was working her detail again.

This time, it was working a protective detail to escort her during an appointment in New Jersey.

Heading back to New York, the First Lady told him, “They remember me! We have not had this much excitement since the White House!”

Her motorcade had been provided additional protection by the New Jersey State Police, and prior to leaving the state, Mrs. Bush asked him to pull over.

Barbara Bush the left the vehicle so she could thank every officer that had “so warmly welcomed me to New Jersey.”

Never Took a Moment for Granted
That one story just about sums up the life of Barbara Bush.

She was a woman that truly appreciated every second of her life.

One of the true rocks behind one of our president’s is about to leave us.

New reports suggest Barbara Bush is in “failing health” and is refusing further medical treatment.

Dying Days
True to her ways, Mrs. Bush is standing tall as her health fails her.

The former president’s office released a formal statement about her health problems stating she “has decided not to seek additional medical treatment and will instead focus on comfort care.”

Much like she did during her time as First Lady and as a supporter of her son while he was in office, Mrs. Bush is “worrying not for herself – thanks to her abiding faith – but for others.”

Favorite First Lady
From the moment George H.W. Bush took office, his wife Barbara became one of America’s favorites.

For many, it was the image of a trusting grandmother she evoked with her mane of white hair.

During every moment as Vice President and President, Bush had a true rock to lean on for support, as did his son when he became president.

Barbara Bush’s Legacy
Barbara Bush no doubt served as somewhat of an example for our current First Lady, Melania Trump.

For both of these women, America’s children are at the forefront of their agenda.

While First Lady, Barbara Bush made it her top priority to get books in the hands of our children.

More importantly, she worked diligently to help them to actually be able to read them.

Mrs. Bush called literacy one of the “most important issues we have.”

Dying Days
Most of the headlines regarding health have pertained to our former president, not the former First Lady.

So, this news caught many people by surprise, especially based on how spry she looked during the presidential election.

Mrs. Bush will remain in Houston and has been joined by her family during her last days.

Our thoughts and prayers go out for Mrs. Bush and her family.
