A group of approximately 50 people gathered at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum to hold a candlelight vigil for the former president.

Graduate students Laura Durie and Patsy Taggart stand with their arms around one another before the vigil begins.

The group stood in a circle around the fountain in front of the library.

Amazing Grace, The Spirit of Aggieland, God Bless America and the national anthem were sung during the vigil.

Guests were invited to stay and reflect following the vigil.

Many attendees wore sweatshirts that said “Bush” and had George H.W. Bush’s presidential seal on them.

Graduate student Briggs Long helped attendees arrange their candles in the shape of the Block T.

After the vigil, many people approached the George H.W. Bush statue to leave their candles.

Bush will be buried next to his wife Barbara P. Bush and daughter Robin Bush in the family plot behind the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

Graduate students Tiffany Easter, Allen Morgan and Kelsea Hull sit together in front of the statue after the crowd starts to disperse.

Two attendees embrace in front of the statue.

The inscription at the foot of the statue reads “George Bush 41st President of the United States.”

Flowers, candles and notes were left at the foot of the statue.
