Williams Statement on the Passing of Former First Lady Barbara Bush

April 17, 2018

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Roger Williams (R – Austin) released the following statement in regards to the passing of former First Lady Barbara Bush:

"I join my fellow Americans in mourning the loss of former First Lady Barbara Bush. She wore many titles throughout her time on this Earth - wife, mother, grandmother, literacy advocate, First Lady - but for me, her best title was simply 'proud American.' She possessed an old-fashioned love of country and service to others. She believed that America was a great nation because of its good people, and she inspired us all to love America and to give back. Our country is better because of Mrs. Bush; she will always be missed, but she will never be forgotten."
