Nancy Reagan has died ... TMZ has learned from a close family member.
The former first lady was living in Bel Air and has been in failing health in recent years.
Mrs. Reagan married Ronald in 1952 and went on to became a First Lady who at first was severely criticized for her fancy taste -- particularly in china -- but went on to become beloved, along with her husband.

The years without her "treasured" Ronnie must have been hard for her. I respect her for many things, (despite my antipathy for Ronald Reagan)-- including the way in which she handled Reagan's Alzheimer diagnosis in a way to bring more attention to the issue.

during a time of needed revolution. Yep, I believe in spirituality, but not religion. I believe in reincarnation (read Edgar Cayce).

She was deeply engulfed in anti-gay, anti-black, etc. Just think of how many lives were lost because of their power. For example: There was no help for HIV sufferers, during that time, because the Reagan's felt that it was a judgement from G-D that they should die.

I am not gay and I am white so don't go there.

I don't believe that her beliefs and actions causing others to die is correct. No, not a good person (maybe misguided). But I pray that she has the opportunity to redeem herself in the spiritual realm.

Because I lived in a community that was hit hard in the Reagan revolution that focused their attack on people who were in dire straights (evil...we suffered). They used the southern strategy (N-word, N-word, N-word message) to trick dem's into voting against our best interests. Please vote for Bernie and against the wrong that they want to continue.

He was relegated to the back row at his adoptive father's funeral. His father once called him a "schmuck" as a boy. He was proud to have a nickname until he found out what it meant. Michael's first autobiography, "On the Outside Looking In," is a treasure chest of these gems.
