Lady Bird Johnson, wife of President Lyndon B. Johnson, as died at her home in Austin of natural causes.

I always admired Mrs. Johnson, as she and probably Pat Nixon were the last First Ladies before the current one who were not political but found a cause and pushed for it from their position as First Lady.

Mrs. Johnson’s cause was the beautification of America, and when you see the beautiful wildflowers planted on the medians of highways, think of Mrs. Johnson.

My heart and prayers go out to Lynda and Luci and families on the loss of their mother and grandmother.
