Rounds Statement on the Passing of Nancy Reagan

PIERRE— U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) issued the following statement on the passing of former first lady Nancy Reagan, who died yesterday in her home at the age of 94.

“Jean and I send our deepest condolences to the Reagan family during this difficult time,” said Rounds. “Nancy Reagan epitomized grace and civility in a political arena that too often lacks both. She will be remembered for many things, including the deep love and loyalty she had for her husband and for her lifelong commitment to public service. We will keep her family in our thoughts and prayers as we all mourn the loss of this very special first lady.”
