SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 6 (UPI) -- President Reagan's family remained in seclusion Sunday as plans for a week of pomp and formal sadness were finalized.
Joanne Drake, the late president's chief of staff, said Mrs. Reagan and their children were locked in a period of "deep mourning" at the family's Bel Air home as phone calls and other messages of sympathy poured in from across the country and around the world.
She said there was also a sense of relief among the family members that Reagan's long and brutal battle with Alzheimer's disease is finally over.
The Reagans will accompany the casket when it is driven from the Santa Monica funeral home to the Reagan library in Simi Valley Monday morning and again on its flight to Washington on Wednesday.
Drake added that she expected Mrs. Reagan to remain an active supporter of research into Alzheimer's disease.
