In the new cartoon, George H.W. Bush, the former Navy pilot and World War II hero, has flown a TBM Avenger to the pearly gates to be reunited with wife and daughter.

"I consider this cartoon and the Barbara Bush cartoon to be bookends," says Ramsey, who was humbled by the praise that the cartoon drew - especially that of Jenna Bush Hager, the Bushes' granddaughter.

"This brought me such comfort this morning," Hager wrote Saturday on Facebook, with a shared image of the cartoon. "I had the opportunity to talk with my grandpa about the afterlife.

"This is what he said: He answered without any hesitation. 'Yes, I think about it. I used to be afraid. I used to be scared of dying. I used to worry about death. But now in some ways I look forward to it.' And I started crying. I managed to choke out, 'Well, why? What do you look forward to?' And he said, 'Well, when I die, I'm going to be reunited with these people that I've lost.' "

When Hager asked her grandfather whom he hoped to see when reunited, she wrote that he replied: "I hope I see Robin, and I hope I see" Barbara.
