Nancy Reagan to be buried beside husband at presidential library | Fox News

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. – Nancy Reagan called her husband's presidential library "the shining city on the hill," using a phrase that President Reagan had borrowed from history to describe his aspirations for the nation.

Inseparable in life, they will be reunited again on that hilltop, side by side.
The former first lady will be buried beside her "Ronnie" Friday at the library they loved, after being mourned and celebrated by family and hundreds of friends from Hollywood, Washington and beyond in a private service.
She was "just a beautiful lady," said John Sandoval, who with his wife, mother and infant daughter joined a crowd of over 1,000 Thursday at the library to see the flower-draped casket.
"I think it was just the unity they shared through his governorship, through his presidency, that brought people together," Sandoval added.
Forecasters warned that Thursday's brilliant skies could be replaced by thunderstorms and wind. A tent was erected over the site of the service.
The sprawling, Spanish Mission-style library is located between the Reagan's post-White House home in the upscale Bel Air section of Los Angeles and Rancho del Cielo, the "ranch in the sky" where the Reagans spent their leisure time, sometimes on horseback, in the rugged mountains near Santa Barbara.
