| Description | Mourners to Gather to Honor President Reagan
The Honolulu Advertiser
Ronald Reagan's body was to be moved Monday from a Santa Monica funeral home to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Following a private ceremony, it will lie in repose at the library through Tuesday night, giving Reagan's fellow Californians a chance to pay their final respects to the man who was their governor from 1967 to 1975. On Wednesday, the former president's body was to be flown to Washington, D.C. Following a state funeral, it will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda until Friday and the federal government will shut down that day in Reagan's honor. The funeral will be at Washington National Cathedral, where President Bush will be among the speakers. The body will then be returned to Reagan's library in Simi Valley for a private burial service. Reagan, 93, died at home Saturday of pneumonia.
Reagan will be buried in a crypt beneath a memorial site at the library some 45 miles north of Los Angeles. A curved wall adorned with shrubbery and ivy lines the memorial and has a three-line inscription from Reagan: "I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life." |
