               Former First Lady Nancy Reagan to Be Laid to Rest

   by VOA News

   Political figures, journalists, and entertainers are gathering Friday
   in Simi Valley, California to say goodbye to Nancy Reagan, steadfast
   partner of the late President Ronald Reagan. Nancy Reagan died Sunday
   at age 94.

   Guests include first lady Michelle Obama; former President and first
   lady George W. and Laura Bush; former Secretary of State Hillary
   Clinton; former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger; a long list
   of journalists who covered the Reagans, and a number of Hollywood
   actors.

   Four of the five living first ladies -- Obama, Bush, Clinton, and
   Rosalynn Carter, wife of former President Jimmy Carter -- will be at
   the service.

   Country honors Reagan
   U.S. government flags, which were lowered to half-staff at news of
   Reagan's death Sunday, will remain lowered until sunset on Friday, in a
   show of respect for the former first lady.

   She will be buried beside her husband at the Ronald Reagan Presidential
   Library in Simi Valley, California.

   The week has been filled with tributes to the former first lady,
   renowned for her devotion to her husband, whom she called "Ronnie."

   By all accounts, the couple remained close until the former president
   died in 2004 after a decade of living with Alzheimer's disease.

   They are survived by two children, Patti Davis and Ron Reagan.
