As word of Barbara Bush's passing on Tuesday (April 17) started to spread around the world, so did the messages, condolences and social media posts.

Bush, 92, was not only the wife of one POTUS but the mother of another POTUS. And like Brad Paisley said in his tweet shortly after she died, hers was a #ALifeWellLived. Right to the very end, while the former First Lady was reportedly sipping on a bourbon.

Mrs. Barbara Bush was one-of-a-kind. I was so honored the day she called me “Dearie." I learned so much from her. Mainly to enjoy life, and spend more time with your family and friends. Mrs. Bush, I will miss you so much, my friend. Happy trails to you, till we meet again. Love, Reba

I had the opportunity to meet former First Lady Barbara Bush at a charity event in Houston a couple of years ago. From my heart, I can honestly say it was, and will remain, one of the greatest moments of my life. May we all take the time to read as much as we can to learn about her many contributions. To honor this extraordinary woman and in honor of the entire Bush family, I, along with my family, pledge to never forget that love, authenticity and truth DO matter and can change lives.
