She sure did - she was one classy lady.

Rest in peace, gracious lady, enjoy your reunion at the Rainbow Bridge, and with all your loved ones.

Godspeed to an elegant, classy, spunky, outspoken, intelligent and gorgeous lady!

A very compassionate and gracious lady indeed. RIP; well done.

She mused that living together before marriage might be wise, thought women should be drafted into the military if men were, and spoke up unapologetically for abortion rights, taking a position contrary to the president's. "Having babies is a blessing, not a duty," Mrs. Ford said

WOW.......................... What an incredible role model for women.
I am in awe. And also saddened that I did not know her views before this.

Having babies is a blessings, not a duty. One of the wisest things I have ever heard.

Rest in peace, Betty Ford, after a life well lived.

I was just reading another article about Mrs. Ford, and came across this,

Florist John Ballow for years has catered to Rancho Mirage's wealthy and famous, but there were few with whom he developed as close a relationship as the woman he reverentially calls "Mrs. Ford."

"I took this almost as bad as a member of my family dying — the world does not make Mrs. Fords anymore," said Ballow.
