Betty Ford has passed away

The sad news broke last night that former First Lady Betty Ford, widow of the late Gerald Ford, has passed away at the age of 93.

Mrs. Ford was one of the classiest ladies to ever grace the halls of the White House. And then there were her ordeals with alcoholism and breast cancer. In a time when such personal demons were rarely discussed, Betty Ford confronted them and turned her private battles into a positive not only for her own sake, but for millions of people.

And as of yesterday, she is reunited with her beloved husband.

Thoughts and prayers going out to her family.
