Nation bids goodbye to Bush with high praise, cannons, humor 69 SHARES Share it! His final resting place is alongside Barbara Bush, his wife of 73 years, and Robin Bush, the daughter who died of leukemia at age 3. Upon its arrival at the church, Bush’s casket was met by a military band and Houston Democratic Mayor Sylvester Turner. Jeb Bush stepped up to try to extend that run but fell short when Trump won the 2016 Republican primaries. The elder Bush was “the last great-soldier statesman,” historian Jon Meacham said in his eulogy, “our shield” in dangerous times.
