Preparations Underway In Simi Valley For Funeral For Former First Lady Nancy Reagan

Condolences are coming in fram around the world to Sunday morning's news that former First Lady Nancy Reagan has died.

She passed away Sunday morning at her Bel-Air home, as a result of congestive heart failure.  She was 94 years old.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library was closed to the public today as a result of the news.  Preparations are being made for her memorial service at the Simi Valley Library and Museum. 

Plans call for her to be buried alongside Ronald Reagan at the facility, but details about the ceremony, and when it will take place haven't been announced yet.

The museum was supposed to debut its new "Vatican Treasures" exhibition Sunday morning, but that opening was put on hold. 

The Reagans were married for more than a half century before the late President's death in 2004.
