The loss of your life partners is a special kind of grief that is like no other
when suddenly you are in the world alone.

10. ❤️ I have tears for them, as it's been a true life of love and service. I think Jimmy's been hanging on for her...

…and now he can join her where all wounds are healed.
Cross gently, and go with our gratitude.

My first vote.

12. Thank you for the time you spent in service to our country Mrs. Carter, and

thank you for sharing your husband with the world.
People often forget about all of the hours political spouses spend, unpaid, working to make our lives better...

14. She and Jimmy

Are the good side of religion. Not a Follower but they have made the purpose, look right.
I think her and Jimmy, soon to follow, are done with the hell on earth, all the evil fakes claiming to be God’s peeps, destroying the message and turning people away.
You make me hope you both were right, and you are in a paradise with your sweetheart soon to join you.
An eternity I would want to be with. Never wanna spend eternity with this GQP. Give me the dry heat.
RIP Mrs Carter.
If God ever does bless, these two have earned such blessings. 😥😢

17. Beautiful souls. My heart is broken, for President Carter's loss and the worlds loss.

Rips in peace beautiful lady.

18. Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter Passes Away at Age 96

ATLANTA (Nov. 19, 2023) — Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, a passionate champion of mental health, caregiving, and women’s rights, passed away Sunday, Nov. 19, at 2:10 p.m. at her home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 96. She died peacefully, with family by her side.

Mrs. Carter was married for 77 years to Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States and the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, who is now 99 years old.

“Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished,” President Carter said. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”

She is survived by her children — Jack, Chip, Jeff, and Amy — and 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. A grandson died in 2015.

“Besides being a loving mother and extraordinary First Lady, my mother was a great humanitarian in her own right,” said Chip Carter. “Her life of service and compassion was an example for all Americans. She will be sorely missed not only by our family but by the many people who have better mental health care and access to resources for caregiving today.”

The schedule of memorial events and funeral ceremonies will be distributed as soon as possible to media and posted on www.rosalynncartertribute.org. This tribute website includes the family’s official online condolence book and opportunities for memorial gifts, as well as an official biography and downloadable photos.

20. Sad but beautiful. I wonder when he wrote those words?

I wonder if it was immediate or in the past at some point?

[mountain grammy]

21. Wonderful couple

I had so much respect for him as president and for the First Lady. Rest in peace Rosalynn and thank you for making America better.

[brer cat]

22. It is well with her soul.

23. Rest in Peace dear Rosalynn. Thank you for all you did.

24. Melania and tRump are 100% different.

In a bad way9

25. They were in the White House when I was born.

I was baptized the same day the hostages were taken in Iran. Due to my age, I have no memories of their time as President and First Lady. Most of my memories of them have to do with Habitat For Humanity.

The Carters had a REAL marriage and what a life of service. I had no idea until today what a huge advocate Mrs. Carter was for mental health.

God rest you, dear lady...and thank you. 🙏❤🕯

28. RIP Madam First Lady

You will be sorely missed. And boy does our country need more like you right now. And to President Carter, we join you in your grief over your profound loss

30. R.I.P. Rosalynn

I fear we’re going to lose Jimmy real soon. All that time married, he’s in hospice, she just died.

The day he does leave us will be very sad for this country and humankind.

31. The Carters lived their faith and demonstrated true Christianity.

Their faith is proof that not all Christians believe in the subjugation of women who must be controlled by men and whose life decisions are to be made by men. His comment that she was an equal partner was so true because he treated her as an equal.

32. Beautiful!
