Betty Ford

Posted on January 2nd, 2007 at 3:17 pm by Patience

I’m watching some footage of President Ford lying in state. Betty Ford is such an epitome of strength right now. I could only hope that through it all I have shown even an ounce of her strength. She’s so solemn and strong even at her age and in her frail state. But to be married so long and so be so supportive of your husband the president. It’s all just… wow. I only got to share 5 years of life with Paul. I can’t imagine having shared my whole life with him and still being that strong. And yet I envy that she had that many more years of memories.

    Mrs. Allen,
    Your loss has been tremendous & your sacrafice even greater. It has not gone unnoticed. I have found your website & I think you are doing a wonderful job in honoring & paying tribute to your husband. I wanted to thank you for the sacrafice you & your family have made…the greatest of all…the gift of life…so that others can remain free! May the Lord bless you & your family always.

    Thank you, Sgt. Allen. You are gone but not forgotten! You have done your job well. Stand down, Soldier. Your mission is complete.

    God bless you always,
