President Jimmy Carter will always be known as one of the most generous and giving presidents the United States has ever had. Rest in peace Mr President. 🇺🇲

RIP, Sir. He was an example of how one (politician or not) should live trying to better the lives of others.

The only U.S. President ever from Georgia. Wow
I think for that reason they ought to put "home of U.S President Jimmy Carter" on their Welcome to Georgia signs. It would be a nice gesture.

Imagine having your body hauled all over the US for a week before it is buried. Seems very odd.

JIMMY CARTER'S LEDACY !!
The joy of life is like a fading flower
And the wrath of death is to shrivel and decay.
Committing our spirits to either right or wrong
Simply by how we choose to live our night or day.

After death the lost cease to be troubled
And all who are weary have forever to rest.
People who apply their heart to seek out wisdom
Are lovingly remembered by all they have blessed.

Let there be no sad farewell after we have gone
Hopefully to heaven, where worthy souls live on.
Searching for reunion with others we once knew
Be they Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu or Jew.
