Barbara Pierce Bush was remembered Saturday as a loyal and devoted wife, stern but affectionate mother, good-humored friend and authentic first lady at a funeral attended by four former presidents including her husband and son.
Along with the past presidents, heads of state and historians and people from all walks of life crowded into St. Martin's Episcopal Church to honor the memory of the former first lady who touched hearts across the nation with her no-nonsense humor and passion to help others.
