“We live in a better and nobler country today because of John Lewis.” – George W. Bush at Lewis’ funeral today

Three former presidents and the most powerful woman in Congress are saying their goodbyes to civil rights icon John Lewis at his funeral service at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Thursday.

“We live in a better and nobler country today because of John Lewis,” Bush said. “The story that began in Troy isn’t ending here today, nor is the work. John Lewis lives forever in his father’s house, and he will live forever in the hearts of Americans who act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with their God. May the flights of angels see John Lewis to his rest and may God bless the country he loved.

Lewis, 80, died July 17. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last December. Lewis represented the Atlanta area in Congress from 1987 until his death. “Every time he stood up to speak, we knew that he was gonna take us to a higher place of our understanding and what our responsibilities were and what our opportunities were, and he insisted, no matter how — shall we say offended — someone might be, that he would insist on the truth,” she said.
