"I love you too" are George Bush's last words.

HOUSTON, Texas -- Former President George H.W. Bush died Friday at the age of 94 with his life-long friend James A. Baker at his side.

In his last moments, Bush asked, "Where are we going, Bake?"

"We're going to heaven," said Baker.

"That's where I want to go," said Bush.

His son, George W. Bush, was put on speaker phone to say goodbye. He told him that he had been a "wonderful dad" and that he loved him.

In a farewell to his son, George H.W. Bush's last words were "I love you, too."
