Jenna’s comforting words came just hours after the shocking announcement about her grandmother, who has decided that after several treatments she will no longer seek hospitalization.

“It will not surprise those who know her that Barbara Bush has been a rock in the face of her failing health, worrying not for herself — thanks to her abiding faith — but for others. She is surrounded by a family she adores, and appreciates the many kind messages and especially the prayers she is receiving,” the statement continued.
