SIMI VALLEY, Calif. - Nancy Reagan called her husband's presidential library "the shining city on the hill," using a phrase that President Ronald Reagan borrowed from history to describe his aspirations for the nation.

Inseparable in life, the pair was reunited Friday on that hilltop, side by side.The sprawling, Spanish mission-style library is located between the Reagan's post-White House home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles and Rancho del Cielo, the "ranch in the sky" where the Reagans spent their leisure time, sometimes on horseback, in the rugged mountains near Santa Barbara.The guest list for the funeral told a story about their lives, which stretched from Hollywood's Golden Age to the California statehouse during Reagan's time as governor to Washington.Early arrivals included former Reagan administration official Ed Meese, former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Mike Love of the Beach Boys and singer Johnny Mathis.As the group gathered briefly outside the library to chat, Mathis reminisced about how he and Mrs. Reagan would sing during his visits to the Reagan family home. Their favorite song: "Our Love is Here to Stay."The memorial service brought together Democrat and Republican, an unusual tableau at a time of deep division in Washington and on the 2016 campaign trail.Nancy Reagan's two children, Patti Davis and Ronald Prescott Reagan, were among the speakers at the funeral, which included choirs and a Marine Corps band.James A. Baker, who served in the Reagan administration, and former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw also gave remarks during the ceremony officiated by the Rev. Stuart Kenworthy.On Wednesday and Thursday, more than 5,500 mourners filed slowly past the former first lady's closed casket, blanketed with white roses and peonies, Mrs. Reagan's favorite flower.Mrs. Reagan, who died Sunday at 94, planned the smallest details of her funeral. She selected the funeral flower arrangements, the music to be played and the list of guests invited to the memorial.
