He lived as a true Christian. He cared about the poor, the homeless, the vulnerable and the widows. Heaven has received a national treasure.

No matter what political side you are on you have to agree that this is how the presidential office should be.

As a Republican I'm sad to see Jimmy Carter go. He seemed like a genuinely good man in his personal life that met well.

May he rest in peace.

My mom told me one time that her sister (my aunt Lisa) and her sister’s husband (my Uncle Kevin) met him when they married because they lived in Georgia at the time. They were so lucky to meet him! I felt a little sad when I heard that he died this evening because he made history! 100 years of living! Rest in deep peace, Mr. Carter

RIP President Carter. You had such a servant’s heart. What leadership should look like. Peace to the Carter family.

We need more presidents like Carter and less like Bush and Nixon and Reagan

He did a lot and still helped the people after being president. He is one of the best presidents we had. Not like the one going into office next year.

Rest in peace, President Carter. My prayers to your family and all affected by your passing. You are missed.

Before he was president, Jimmy Carter saved a Navy sub's nuclear reactor after meltdown, Carter himself was physically lowered into the damaged reactor, exposing himself to dangerous levels of radiation. He proved without a doubt he is a tough guy. Thanks for all your service Mr. President.

Both Jimmy and Roselynn had better humanity than most people. I hope they’re happy of being reunited with each other in heaven. I hope there are people like them somewhere in the world. RIP 39th President Jimmy Carter🫡 🫡🫡
