Nancy Reagan, one of the most high-profile and influential first ladies of the 20th century, has died. She was 94.
The cause of death was congestive heart failure, according to her rep Joanne Drake, a spokeswoman with the Reagan Library.
"Mrs. Reagan will be buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, next to her husband, Ronald Wilson Reagan, who died on June 5, 2004," Drake wrote in a statement.

"Prior to the funeral service, there will be an opportunity for members of the public to pay their respects at the Library."
"It is a very sad day," former Ronald Reagan Chief of Staff Ken Duberstein told NBC News. "Every time she was in the room, he was better, and every time he was in the room she was better. She brought a sense of class and dignity and elegance that everybody admired."
Her step-son Michael Reagan posted on Facebook: "She is once again with the man she loved. God Bless."
Bye,Nancy.

I guess it's not unexpected when someone 94 years old dies. But it was a little unexpected, I saw nothing in the news in the preceding months that she was in failing health.
I still recall the news coverage of Reagan's funeral, and the touching way she kissed Reagan's coffin at the end of her part of the ceremony. Much was made in the media of Nancy Reagan being "fake", but that was certainly sincere and heartfelt affection.
Would that there were a Ronald Reagan emerging to replace the husband she mourned.
