PALM DESERT, Calif.

Military pallbearers carried the flag-draped casket of Gerald R. Ford past his widow and children Friday afternoon and into the church where the late president had attended services for years in the "Presidents Pew."
Former first lady Betty Ford, 88, stood at the top of the steps of St. Margaret's Episcopal Church to receive the casket, then followed it inside as a Marine Corps band played "Ruffles and Flourishes" and the hymn "O God Our Help in Ages Past."
