Met Rosalyn Carter, have photos of her arm in arm with me. I was much younger than her but even then I realised she was one of the warmest and gentlest people I’ve ever met. So many VIPs are arrogant, awful people. Mrs Carter was simply lovely as was her husband, Pres Carter. A great couple indeed with genuinely good intentions. Bless them both. 🙏🏻❤️

I am truly saddened to hear this news. Jimmy Carter is 98 and in hospice care at his home in Georgia.

Prayers for Mrs Carter and Family. Not an easy diagnosis to deal with. Sending Love, Hugs, and Prayers ❤️🤗🙏🏻

I’m so sorry to here this. Dementia is such a horrible disease, my prayers for the Carter family.

Prayers for the Carter family. They are lovely people❤

I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Dimentia quite literally steals your mind, before it snuffs out your life. I'm very sorry and saddened to learn this about Mrs. Carter.

I thought he was gone after being put in hospice almost two months ago or so. So which one is it?

[lenmil]

She's got a bright future in the Senate.

[jeepninja]

Ironical...President with dementia responds to ex 1st lady with dementia.

[WA_S_S_AW]

She’s at home and she’s happy. I see that as the goal anyways

[dlo]

Put her and old uncle Joe in the same room. That way they met each other again and again and again.

[normanrowe]

The White House should be more concerned with their current demented resident.

[zerofootprints]

That baby blood don’t cure everything 😉

[pinkies]

TBH. The last several times she appeared publicity, she did not seem too be very well.

The White House has firsthand experience with Binden and empathize with the Carter's
