WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement after learning of the passing of former first lady Barbara Bush:
“Barbara Bush was the rock of her family. It’s nothing short of extraordinary to be a first lady and the mother of another U.S. president. Through it all, Mrs. Bush was strong, poised, and fiercely loyal. She touched many lives through her devotion to improving literacy in America. Her wisdom, wit, and honesty will be missed. Bruce and I send our sincerest condolences to the Bush family.”
