Barbara Bush was laid to rest in Houston on Saturday. Here in Maine, a memorial service for Mrs. Bush will take place in Kennebunkport, a spot she and her husband put on the map as its long-time summer residents.
Barbara Bush meant so much to Maine, from her folksy ways to philanthropy, which includes her promotion of the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital in Portland, a place my own children have spent time in. Mrs. Bush not only lent her name (and untold donations) to the hospital, she visited one or two times a year. When she did, Mrs. Bush the literacy advocate always read stories to the children.
