Washington — Thousands of people have filed past the casket of former President George H. W. Bush to pay their respects.
On Tuesday, former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, 95, saluted Bush at the casket of the late president. Like Bush, Dole is a World War II veteran.
Dole and his wife, former North Carolina Senator Elizabeth Dole, were close to the Bush family.
She described the relationship as « warm. »
« Very, very warm, » she said. « We saw eye to eye on most of the issues… we had similar experiences. I remember when George Bush became vice president I had a tea for Barbara Bush, and I took my mother’s best china right from this cabinet right here and took it up to Capitol Hill for this tea for Barbara Bush.
