Scores of mourners, including former Presidents George H.W. Bush, George Bush, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, on Saturday (local time) attended the funeral of former first lady Barbara Bush at Houston's St Martin’s Episcopal Church in Texas.
Among the approximately 1,500 attendees, apart from former presidents were First lady Melania Trump and former first ladies Laura Bush, Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, reported CNN.
And a picture of event has gone viral of Melania Trump and Barack Obama where the First Lady and former President are sharing a light moment. This led many commentators to comment that Melania appears to be far more relaxed in Obama’s presence, compared to when she is out with her husband.
1. Melania Trump never looked so damn Happy before in her life.

Melania, usually stone-faced, is seen smiling for the first time in a while next to Barack Obama.

Nothing said class like Obama making Melania smile and feel welcome...knowing she supported her husband’s birther movement and asked on national television to see Obama’s birth certificate. pic.twitter.com/fPbgLr4Mpy

Melania Trump should lean over and tell both the Obama's and Clinton's, "The Inspector General sends his regards." #barbarabushfuneral pic.twitter.com/RTP3HIiuhH

Obama: “Rodney?”

This is Melania and Obama sitting together today at former First Lady Barbara Bush's funeral. Have you ever, ever, EVER seen Melania smile like this, and look this relaxed, beside her own husband? Ever? pic.twitter.com/9qYLT2glIH

Melania’s husband abandoned her, so, even though she promoted the racist birther conspiracy, Obama sat next to her.

At the funeral for Barbara Bush today, Melania Trump sat next to guess who...

Barack Obama!
After over a year in office, Melania has not smiled once in the presence of Donald Trump.
10 minutes with Obama’s, and look what happened!
Don’t retweet to @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/V4RbD85FUy
The absence of @realDonaldTrump speaks volumes.

Shout out to my man Barack Obama for keeping Melania company while her petulant toddler of a husband is golfing...#BarbaraBushFuneral #SaturdayMorning pic.twitter.com/sKFvnIzouK
add "make Melania smile" to the long list of things Obama can do that Trump can't

Y'all. Melania is actually happier with Obama at a funeral than she is with Trump at his inauguration dinner!#barbarabushfuneral pic.twitter.com/mDhGqWJjid

This photo from Barbara Bush’s funeral speaks volumes. After everything Trump has done to Obama, Obama still treats Melania with kindness and respect. What a diplomat and gentleman. That’s a real President. No way Trump would be half this warm to Michelle. pic.twitter.com/7BSqplbdhT

Bush underscored when he tossed a question at his mother about her thoughts on death during their last visit together, she replied,"Jeb, I believe in Jesus and him as my savior. I don't want to leave your dad but I know I'll be in a beautiful place."
