MillCreek Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 From WSB-TV's website (7-11-07) Lady Bird Johnson Dies At 94 AUSTIN, Texas -- Lady Bird Johnson, the former first lady who championed conservation and worked tenaciously for the political career of her husband, former President Lyndon B. Johnson, died Wednesday, a family spokeswoman said. She was 94. Johnson returned home late last month after a week at Seton Medical Center, where she'd been admitted for a low-grade fever. Her husband died in 1973. She died at her Austin home of natural causes about 4:18 p.m. CDT. Elizabeth Christian, the spokeswoman, said she was surrounded by family and friends. Johnson was born and christened Claudia Alta Taylor. She received the nickname "Lady Bird" during her childhood. Remainder of Story HERE May She Rest in Peace Link to post Share on other sites

hart408 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 It's odd that you can get so anesthetized by your own pain or your own problem that you don't quite fully share the hell of someone close to you. Lady Bird Johnson Link to post Share on other sites
TabbyCat Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I grew up in Texas. Lady Bird was a good friend of my Grandmother's, and I knew her, for much of my life. Say whatever you'd like about her and her devotion to her Hubby. I respected her for the Lady that she was and will always be in my memory. She was a Lady in the highest sense of the word. RIP Great Lady, and 94 is something to be celebrated. They broke the mold after you. Link to post Share on other sites
