I have always respected and admired President Carter. I had the privilege of meeting him one time. His care for others was always evident. I am grateful for his legacy to Habitat and appreciate the experiences I have had to work on Habitat builds. May he rest in peace and receive his reward as a good and faithful servant of God.

After retiring, I was looking for something to do and give back. When I found Habitat for Humanity on a Church service project. That was 20 years ago. I loved the mission, I love our weekly “Family” Crew, and I love the Habitat Staff. If you have not read the book “If I had a Hammer,” I would encourage you to do so. Thank you President Carter and First Lady for your support of Habitat.

He was a man who lived his faith out loud, unashamedly and unabashedly. He’s a man that I will always admire. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family. I’m sad that I never got to know him personally. But having read his multiple books, I feel like I have some insight into him as a person. He will be missed!

I want to thank you President Carter for being an inspiration to all Americans. You will be missed but never forgotten. Our Country is in dire need of more politicians who put the needs of the American people over their personal gains. That put their personal gains aside, and truly serve us the American people. I hope I live to see the day when we will have more politicians who will emulate your character and dedication to our Country, and do it with the grace and humility that you have demonstrated in your lifetime. Rest in Peace.

Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn were earthly examples to all of us, in serving those around them, in caring for those with great needs. They both demonstrated the love, compassion, and kindness of Jesus, which is a profound example to all of us who call ourselves Christians.

Dear Mr. President,
You left this world a better place than you found it. I haven't cried for a president's loss like I have for you. I know if you'd had a second term, our world would be very different in a good way. Thank you for your service to the country and to people with your work with Habitat for Humanity. You will never be forgotten!

The first President I voted for at 5 years old. I learned he was a fighter for Democracy and a peanut farmer. He also was a Sunday School teacher. God bless the Carter foundation.

I was honored to hear President Carter speak at one of his early campaign stops in Syracuse, NY in 1975. He struck me then as an honest, intelligent and caring man who truly wanted to serve his country. Subsequent years have only amplified my impressions of him. Rest well, good and faithful servant.
