Jenna Hawkins Welch, mother of Laura Bush, dies at age 99

Mrs. Welch died on Friday, May 10. I can just imagine how difficult Mothers Day was for Laura Bush after losing her mother just two days prior. Condolences to Laura Bush and her family in their loss.

My, losing one's mother the day before Mother's Day would be a painful experience.  Laura Bush has quietly endured several hard moments in her life.

Condolances to the family.  No matter what side of the aisle one is one, Laura Bush is quite a lady.  Her Mom raised an amazing person.  

 

One year Mothers day fell on my husbands birthday, and Mothers day.  His Mom died. It was hard.  But the next day, our youngest, and last grandchild was born.  The cycle of life goes on for sure.

It has been a difficult year for the Bush family.  My condolences to them.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

Sorry to hear that.  I didn't know the name of Laura Bush's mother but it's sweet to think she and George named their twin girls after both of their mothers.

I had not realized they had named their twin daughters after their grandmothers....Barbara and Jenna. What a nice legacy and honor for them.
