The former President of the United States, George H. W. Bush, died November 30.
…
The "New York Times also reported on his death, saying:
“Ronan Tynan, the Irish tenor, had called earlier in the day to ask if he could drop by, and when he showed up, Ms. Becker, President Bush’s former chief of staff, asked him to sing to the president. Mr. Tynan sang two songs, the first ‘Silent Night’ and the second a Gaelic song.”
"As he sang
‘Silent Night,’ Mr. Baker said, ‘Believe it or not, the president was mouthing the words.’”
“Mr. Baker held Mr. Bush’s hand and rubbed his feet for nearly a half-hour. The other children, who live around the country, were called so they could tell their father goodbye.”
"Dr. Levenson, who arrived at 9:15 p.m., led those in the room in prayer. ‘We all knelt around him and placed our hands on him and prayed for him and it was a very graceful, gentle death,’ he said. ‘It was very evident that that man was so deeply loved.’”
There was no struggle, no prolonged period of labored breathing. At 10:10 p.m., the former president slipped away.
