“He is home now. He is free.”

“It seemed as if the heavens were weeping as we paid farewell to your servant Ronald Reagan. We have come from sea to shining sea to this soil that he loved so much and where his body will remain.” -Rev. Michael Wenning

“You knew my father as president, as governor. Well, I knew him as Dad,” -Michael Reagan

“Humble as he was, he never would have assumed a free pass to heaven. But in his heart of hearts, I suspect he felt he would be welcome there. And so he is home. He is free.” -Ron Reagan Jr.

“It has been 10 years since he said his own farewell, yet it is still very sad and hard to let him go. Ronald Reagan belongs to the ages now, but we preferred it when he belonged to us.” -President George W. Bush

“We here still move in twilight. But we have one beacon to guide us that Ronald Reagan never had. We have his example. Let us give thanks today for a life that achieved so much for all of God’s children.” -Margaret Thatcher

“Ronald Reagan was beloved because of what he believed. He believed in America so he made it his shining city on a hill. He believed in freedom so he acted on behalf of its values and ideals. He believed in tomorrow so The Great Communicator became The Great Liberator.” -George H. W. Bush
