These photos are not in a particular order. Most of them came from Twitter where the camera attention was almost fully upon the guest side where the presidential lineup was seated rather than on the family side.
Sully said his goodbyes at the Capitol. With the former president since last April when Barbara Bush passed away, he will go on to serve other veterans.
Hillary always has a fascination with church ceilings.

The day belonged to the Bush family, but understandably there were moments. Here is one.
Hillary is doing a great job of using Twitter to let us know how she is thinking about current events.
What’s happening to families at the border right now is a humanitarian crisis. Every parent who has ever held a child in their arms, every human being with a sense of compassion and decency, should be outraged.
Despite what this White House claims, separating families is not mandated by law. That is an outright lie, and it’s incumbent on all of us – journalists and citizens alike – to call it just that.
Those who selectively use the Bible to justify this cruelty are ignoring a central tenet of Christianity. Jesus said "Suffer the little children unto me." He did not say “let the children suffer.”
We should be a better country than one that tears families apart, turns a blind eye to women fleeing domestic violence, and treats frightened children as a means to a political end.
I still believe in the vision we share for our country. We will elect politicians and enact legislation to protect the most vulnerable among us – but first, we have to address the urgent needs of families at the center of this crisis. Give today. Please. https://t.co/VEAP7b5qNo
While the president has falsely claimed that he has no choice on breaking up families because of a law passed by Democrats, Bush laid the blame squarely on the president’s policies — namely, the Department of Justice’s “zero tolerance” policy with which it began.
On Friday, Department of Homeland Security officials told reporters that 1,995 children had been separated from their parents over a six-week period, from April 19 to May 31.
Hillary Clinton on Monday slammed President Trump over his administration’s immigration policies and said he is lying about one that has resulted in the separations of migrant families.
“This is not happening because of the ‘Democrats’ law,’ as the White House has claimed,” she said during remarks in New York.
“Separating families is not mandated by law at all. That is an outright lie,” she added. “It’s incumbent on all of us, journalists and citizens alike, to call it just that.”
The funeral for former First Lady Nancy Reagan was held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley CA. Rev. Stuart Kenworthy, Vicar of the National Cathedral, officiated. First Lady Michelle Obama, Former President George W. Bush, former First Ladies Laura Bush and Rosalynn Carter attended. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy was there along with other former First Daughters Lynda Johnson Robb and Tricia Nixon Cox. I am pretty sure I saw Susan Ford Bales. Nancy Pelosi, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver were there and also Former First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, and next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton.

Former Canadian PM Brian Mulroney, Former Secretary of State James Baker, Tom Brokaw, Patti Davis, and Ron Reagan gave stirring and humorous eulogies. Ron, endearingly, had a little bit of trouble controlling his emotion near the end of his tribute.
The Ave Maria, Amazing Grace, and the Battle Hymn of the Republic were sung.

The casket was led outside by a piper who also played Amazing Grace and Going Home. A military band played Danny Boy, God Bless America, the Navy Hymn, and America the Beautiful.

The sky opened up and it poured. That is always a good sign and a blessing at a funeral.
Patti and Ron did a great job. The arrangements were beautiful. Condolences to the family and best compliments on a beautiful service and memorial to your mom.
Hillary sat down with Andrea Mitchell prior to the ceremonies.

Hillary Clinton, former FLOTUS, former senator, and former secretary of state accompanied by her husband, the former president, attended the dedication this morning of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. She appeared to enjoy the event thoroughly. The relaxation shows. She was glowing as she stood with the current and other former FLOTUSes. She is once again wearing kitten heels.
It was a huge event, historic, and fun. Quintessentially American. The elder Bushes drew attention – he with his pink socks and she with her always surprising remarks. When Matt Lauer asked her before the ceremony about Jeb Bush running in 2016, she said there are more qualified people than four families and the country has had enough Bushes. Bill Clinton referred her as “my mother” so it is possible her message was not only for Jeb but also for her adopted daughter-in-law. From the looks of things Barb and Hillary get along especially well.
Secretary Clinton began her day in DC fulfilling several rather heavy duties, as we have seen in the prior posts. She delivered two major addresses, one at the Open Government Partnership, and a second at the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition. We see her, in the slideshow below, with Brazil’s Foreign Minister Patriota.
She left DC after the second speech, and flew to California to attend the funeral of former First Lady Betty Ford at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Palm Desert. We spotted Tricia Nixon Cox, Lynda Johnson Robb, and Maria Shriver (who arrived and left with an unidentified friend), along with Former President George W. Bush, Nancy Reagan, Michelle Obama, and Rosalynn Carter (who spoke touchingly).
It was a wonderful memorial to a great lady! She accomplished much and is fondly remembered.

Hillary Clinton’s Cover Letter to Congress on the ARB Report
Hillary because…
She would NEVER have allowed social safety nets to be "on the table."
Read the unclassified ARB Report on Benghazi here.
@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!
"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway
"I deeply resent those who attack our country, the generosity of our people and the leadership of our president in trying to respond to historically disastrous conditions after the earthquake." - HRC 01-26-10
Good Advice!
