Former Israeli President Shimon Peres in a statement wished his condolences “to the whole Reagan family, her friends and all citizens of the United States”. “And we remain grateful for Nancy Reagan’s life, thankful for her guidance, and prayerful that she and her beloved husband are together again”.

She said what she thought and sometimes in the simplest and most unambiguous terms. “Her influence on the White House was complete and lasting”.
