Michelle Obama and three former first ladies were among dignitaries in California today paying tribute to Betty Ford.
The funeral of the former First Lady focused on her twin passions, politics and her world famous Betty Ford Center for substance abuse and alcohol treatment.
Ford, who died at the age of 93 on Friday, had mapped out plans for today's ceremony including who would deliver her eulogies.
She chose former first lady Rosalynn Carter and journalist Cokie Roberts as speakers along with a former director of the Betty Ford Center.
there will be a second funeral Thursday in MI.
