Mikhail Gorbachev Expresses His Condolences to Nancy ReaganDear Nancy: As you and your loved ones are saying farewell to Ronald Reagan, please accept heartfelt condolences from me and my family. Ronald traveled his life journey with dignity and faced courageously the cruel disease that darkened his final years. I shall always remember the years of working together with President Reagan, putting an end to confrontation between our two countries, and equally, our friendly rapport, which revealed Ronald's human qualities. You have always been at his side, sharing in his joys and sorrows. Your husband has earned a place in history and in people's hearts. Mikhail Gorbachev |
