Posted 7/11/2007

Montreat, N.C., July 11, 2007

“Lady Bird Johnson was a wonderful woman devoted to her husband, her
children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was one of the
greatest women I have ever known.

“During my wife''s long illness, Lady Bird would often phone her, and Ruth
was always encouraged by those calls.

''Last Monday I spoke with Lady Bird Johnson and her family, who were at
her bedside. Lynda and Luci were full of love for their mother, and
conscious of the coming reality of heaven for her.

“Lady Bird''s family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hold each one of
them with deep personal affection.''
