Nellie Connally Dies at 87![[Image: Newsphoto-NellieConnally.jpg]](http://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/images/7/77/Newsphoto-NellieConnally.jpg)
Sep 3, 2006: Nellie Connally, wife of former Texas Governor John Connally, died yesterday at the age of 87. She rode in the Presidential limousine with her husband and the Kennedys on the fateful motorcade through Dallas on November 22, 1963, uttering the fateful line "Mr. President, you certainly cannot say that Dallas does not love you" moments before shots rang out. The Associated Press obitiary (see short version in the New York Times and full version in the Washington Times) noted this but failed to mention that both Mrs. Connally and her husband always believed that he had been struck by a separate bullet, which would require the presence of a second gunman in Dealey Plaza. The Reuters obituary did include this fact. Unfortunately, Mrs. Connally had rejected requests to allow removal a fragment from her dead husband's leg which could have settled the question. Mrs. Connally was the last surviving passenger of the Presidential limousine.
