She remembered, going to church after George W. Bush died and being asked to read a prayer in front of the congregation. When she got up there, she was unable to continue and Savannah stepped in to help. She said,

"I was shaking so hard, sobbing so much that Savannah kind of had to step in. But I think that’s what a really beautiful friend does — they step in when you have lost your voice."
