    A Colorado Mountain Grandma USA 😢💕🌹🕊️💫🌟

  3. Such a beautiful lady. She was what a 1st lady should be. True grace.

  4. Rosalynn would’ve had her hands full with all the mental disorders at the WH today

  5. Like Jimmy is, Rosalynn was a genuine and good person!

  6. Amd we are still no where in battling mental health….we cannot save a mind when we do not even understand our own

  7. Mental Health is nothing but a tool to control people it doesn't exist it's just the fastest way for them to get lab rats besides christianity.

  8. Rest In Peace sweet lady. I am not a Christian but she is one of the few I would call a true Christian. Other “Christians” could learn from her and Jimmy.

  9. Tell the fact NBC anchor . She is not familiar or famous in South East Asia . Perhaps in Central American & USA
    What’s trailblazing according the me zero

  10. So beautiful and we will miss you.
