Former first lady Barbara Bush, who’s been in failing health for some time, will forgo any more medical treatment and instead try to remain comfortable at home, CNN reported Sunday.
Barbara Bush, the wife of President George H.W. Bush and the mother of President George W. Bush, has suffered from pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure.
This was the statement put out by the office of George H.W. Bush.

Sad to hear about Mrs. Bush’s health. An American lady and civic character, in the best sense. Tough, fun, frank, devoted to country. And so clearly loved by her family and many others.

Bush is 92 years old.
