When Winston Churchill died in 1965, the Queen and Parliament placed a simple stone on the floor of Westminster Abbey to honor this great man. What would they say to future generations about him, what would they carve on that stone? Above the identification of those who dedicated it are just three words:?“Remember Winston Churchill.”
Two years before, Jacqueline Kennedy anticipated that simplicity and left an elegant, unadorned request. Autograph Statement Signed on her black-bordered, monogrammed note paper, late November 1963, to Clifton, with the message her heart felt. “Please remember the President.”?She added, “Thank you for all you did to help him – and me. Jacqueline Kennedy.” This card is accompanied by the original funeral mass card Mrs. Kennedy designed for the November 25, 1963 funeral, and which she enclosed, with the picture of her husband on one side and a spiritual message on the other.
