Statement from the Grassleys on the Passing of Barbara Bush

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Grassley and Mrs. Barbara Grassley of Iowa released the following statement on the passing of former First Lady Barbara Bush.

“Former First Lady Barbara Bush was everything a country could ask for in a First Lady. Over the years, we’ve been fortunate enough to get to know Mrs. Bush, first in Iowa campaigning for her husband, then as Second Lady, and then as First Lady, but always as a friend. In private, Barbara was the same strong, kind, funny and loving woman the nation knew her to be. We will miss her greatly. The entire Bush family is in our thoughts and prayers.”
