First lady Michelle Obama to attend funeral for Nancy Reagan

First lady Michelle Obama will attend the funeral on Friday of Nancy Reagan, who will be buried next to her husband, former President Ronald Reagan, at his presidential library in California, officials said on Monday.

Reagan will lie in repose at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Wednesday and Thursday. A private funeral is planned for Friday, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation said.

"First lady Michelle Obama will be attending Mrs. Reagan's funeral," a White House official said on Monday.

Reagan, the former actress who was fiercely protective of her husband through a Hollywood career, eight years in the White House, an assassination attempt and his Alzheimer's disease, died on Sunday at age 94.

I would manage to have a migraine that day. It would probably be a real one though if I got myself worked up enough over not wanting to go.
