Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn of Nancy Reagan’s passing.



Nancy was an extraordinary woman: a gracious First Lady, proud mother, and devoted wife to President Reagan—her Ronnie. Her strength of character was legendary, particularly when tested by the attempted assassination of the President, and throughout his battle with Alzheimer's. She leaves a remarkable legacy of good that includes her tireless advocacy for Alzheimer’s research and the Foster Grandparent Program.



We join all Americans in extending our prayers and condolences to her beloved children and her entire family during this difficult time.
