"Nancy Reagan dedicated her life to the American people. Her commitment to educating young people about drug abuse, promoting drug awareness and reducing stigma forever changed the way Americans view this disease, and her efforts to raise awareness about breast cancer made a difference to generations of women. I am grateful for her service, and Tom and I send our deepest condolences to her children, her entire family, and her many friends, loved ones and colleagues."
