Former first lady Barbara Bush, who’s been in failing health for some time, will forgo any more medical treatment and instead try to remain comfortable at home, CNN reported Sunday.
Barbara Bush, the wife of President George H.W. Bush and the mother of President George W. Bush, has suffered from pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure.
This was the statement put out by the office of George H.W. Bush.

It’s absolutely true. Both Mrs. Bush and Bush 41 are the favorites. While the WH staff don’t spill juicy details, they make it very clear who their favorites are and who wasn’t very kind to them. https://t.co/ooZiDry4hM

Ms Barbara has long had my respect and gratitude as a model of strength and opinion in a life that demands a high amount of invisibility. Her and I will always differ in the voting booth……but as a Mother to her nation, I think she did an awful lot of Good. #BarbaraBush

Sad to hear about Mrs. Bush’s health. An American lady and civic character, in the best sense. Tough, fun, frank, devoted to country. And so clearly loved by her family and many others.
