“As somebody who is lucky enough to have an extraordinary partner in my life as well, I know how much she meant not just to President Reagan but to the country as a whole,” the President said following news of the First Lady’s passing.

South by Southwest will conduct a ticket drawing to determine who will be admitted to the event, which will take place at Dell Hall at the The Long Center.
