My heart cries out to every Canadian in honour of the legacy that The Right Honourable M. Brian Mulroney, P.C., C.C., G.O.Q. left behind on the lives of each person in the entire Commonwealth.

My prayers are with the highly diplomatic defenders of the late Heinz Alfred Kissinger.

Fond memories of President Ford; kindest regards to all who read this; God bless one and all

For you Mr. President...

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

DEAR FORD FAMILY,
I WISH THAT I HAD COME ACROSS THIS GUEST BOOK BEFORE BUT, I DIDN`T. HOPE YOUR LOSS IS, EASING A BIT.
HE WAS MY CONGRESSMAN WHEN, I WAS A CHILD IN, MICHIGAN.
HE WAS A GOOD MAN AND, A GOOD PRESIDENT.
TAKE CARE

President Fords greatest gift to America came from within himself with his honesty truthfulness and courage to always strive to do the right thing in the sight of God even if it were not popular with the American public.

As we come upon the one year anniversary of your passing onto
Glory may we remember the contributions you made to America. May we all strive to be parts of a solution and inspire others to greatness. I grew up in Grand Rapids and have many fond memories of your visits. Blessings to you in your eternal home.

I first met with Jerry Ford in his office when I was seeking a congressional nomination to the USMA (WestPoint) in 1961. Jerry was always a gracious man and a leader with principals. He represented Western Michigan well during 1948-1976. My heart felt sympathies go out to Betty and their children and grandchildren. His leadership will be missed and he will not be forgotten.

Our prayers are with you and your family forever in our hearts. God bless you.

Just wanted to send condolenses to the family especially the First Lady. Our prayers are with you and your family. He wil be greatly missed, even thought I was a little girl back then I remember reading about him and all the great things he did.

Dear Ford Family--
I am not even a Republican, but I ALWAYS LOVED President Ford and ALWAYS admired Mrs. Ford. I loved him even more after his death and the release of his last interview. What a decent, honest man. I am glad he stood for what he believed in to the end. If you havent seen the tribute cartoon that Scott Stantis did of him after he died in the Birmingham News, look it up on the net under Scott Stantis. It is such a joyful and peaceful tribute to him. Thank you for everything you have done for women and for our country Mrs. Ford. You and Eleanor Roosevelt are the number one First Ladies of all time.
Sincerely, yours

To all the members of the Ford Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you. President Ford was a great man and will be deeply missed. God bless him and his family.

Our Heart.S Are Whth you all

Our country mourns the passing of President Ford, a courageous leader and honorable man. May God bless the Ford family.

To the Ford family,
I grew up in Grand Rapids,and campaigned for your Dad when I was in High School.We would spend evenings at the Republican Headquarters downtown calling people.I still remember what we said 30 years later."If the election were today,could President Ford count on your vote"?
With Deepest Sympathy!

Dear Mr. President and The First Lady and Beloved Family-
Spirit is eternal.
God is love.
Thanks for the memories.
And may we all walk in honor.

Rest in peace Mr. President.

Mr. Ford: Go on Eagles Wings

The Nation suffered the loss of one of it’s greatest’s Heros a few weeks ago. Gerald R. Ford, brought out from this country a bitterly divided, depressed people, by a simple statement immediately after his swearing in as our 38th President; "America, Our Nightmare Is Over.” Those words were heard around the world. It regained respect, not only for the office of Presidency but to a questioning Nation paralyzed by the divisiveness drawing one American against another. It regained respect amongst other Nations whose support from the United States was so crucial.

History may or may not record him as a great President. Only time and unwritten history books will do that. But he was the last of the “progressives” or “moderates” of Republicanism, where the deficit is balanced and compromise is not defined as defeat, and where moving in the correct direction is done so by just listening to the common man/woman who today has all but been forgotten.

During his run for President in 1976 he once said: “Progress not platitudes. Performance not promises.” He lived up to that principle, despite public opinion polls, jokes, and usual media frenzies.

Thank you President Ford. You made US proud then, and reminded us of it again!

To the Ford Family:

We are deeply sorry for your loss, and wish you peace. Welcome Home, Mr. President!

i know Gerald R ford went into a good place

The world has lost a wonderful man! What an inspiration he has been to so many people throughout the world. God Bless President Gerald Ford, and may the Lord give his family the strength to carry out his legacy! Thank you--President Ford!!

Thank you for your leadership. We will all miss You.

God Bless You and your Family. I love you.

My deepest sympathy to the Family.

Mrs. Ford, Michael, Jack, Steven, and Susan,

My prayers are with you during this difficult time. May reading God's Word give you strength, and may you hope in the fact that Christ's death on the cross washes away the sins of those who believe.

Let us not mourn but celebrate with Gerald on his walk of honor to our Savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ! The philosophy statement of Gerald is one with the Lord “A government big enough to give us everything we want is a government big enough to take from us everything we have” As is with our Savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ.

To the Ford family my deepest sorrow to you all,I want to thank you for letting us all share this difficult time with you,you are all a pillar of strength.President Ford was a great man,He made all of michigan proud of him and the united states He and you will nerver be forgotten Thank you,God bless you all.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.

DEAR PRESIDENT GERALD FORD.

They say you gave the greatest sacrifice sir, your entire political career. You did this to heal an open wound for a country that was hurt. I think you are a wonderful man, an outstanding father and husband, an example for all leaders – but most of all, a good, decent human being. May God bless you and your family.

You were an inspiration and will be greatly missed.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

As a general concensus, I believe that most people along with our Heavenly Father hold this to be true about Gerald R. Ford - job well done, good and faithful servant.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

In 1976 I was a Ford delegate at the Iowa caucus and state convention, and an alternate delegate to the national convention. Turning 18 that fall, and voting for the first time, I had studied/lived through Watergate and was to major in poli sci in college that fall. President Ford was a decent, honorable man who brought integrity, humanity and healing to the White House when it was most needed. I remember the excitement of his visit(s) to Des Moines, where I watched him speak from the capitol grounds while I was still in high school. His midwestern sensibilities, kindness and understated (but firm)personality remind me of my Dad. What a treasure was President Ford, and I offer condolences to his family. Across the country we gave him a beautiful, respectful farewell - evidence of his providential place in our history and hearts.

President Ford,

Thank you for giving yourself to your country.

Linda Hatcher

No life is long enough that has contributed so much. Few people, let alone Presidents, will ever have the qualities of Gerald Ford. His influence will forever be carried down in family, friends, and citizens. Rest in peace.

Dear Mrs. Ford and Family,
Our deepest sympathy to you all. We are proud that President Ford was from "Our" town and proud that West Michigan shown so brightly as we all said good-bye.

May God bless this honorable man and hold him close. This country was blessed to have him as president at such a crucial time.

My sympathy to his family.

We express condolences and heart felt sadness to the family.We will
miss him.

You were a brave man & a courageous president. Your honesty & humble honor of the title of "President" is sorely missed. I pray for your family in this time of grief.

I wish to offer my sincere sympathy to the Ford Family.

To Brother Ford's family my deepest regrets. In the 1970's I watched President Ford make that hole in one at the Danny Thomas Memphis Classic. It was amazing. Many years later I became a member of our fine fraternity of Freemasons. May God bless you in this hour of sorrow. I will keep you in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Ford Family in this difficult time. I just lost my Father on Dec. 29th after a fall at home in Sept. I know the only thing that gets me through is that Dad is with God now and he is not suffering anymore. So Mr. Ford is with God and he is happy and healthy and he is probably shaking hands with my Dad. God Bless you Mrs. Ford & your family.

May you be comforted by the sweet memories of your loved one. Use his "sayings"in your everyday life. Laugh at jokes that he used to tell. These things will comfort you.Hold each other often and closely. We all will miss Gerald Ford.

finally at home with jesus

I grew up in Grand Rapids and went to Central High with Mrs. Ford. My husband Jack double dated with Mrs Ford and her friend.We were thrilled to see them at the opening of the Ford Presidential Museum. Mrs. Ford recognized my husband and greeted him warmly. Gerald Ford was a wonderful President and he made the people of Grand Rapids so proud!I was impressed by how lovingly Mrs. Ford was treated by her children at the many services held around the country. Their love and devotion will help her through her heartache. America lost a wonderful leader with the death of Gerald Ford
