Jimmy Carter was the first president I voted for when I turned 18. I didn’t know much about politics but I knew he was a good man and deserving of my vote. I saw him stand up for people and for what’s right during and after his presidency was over. I became familiar with Habitat for Humanity thru my brother in law’s mother who helped bring Habitat for Humanity to Washington State. Today my granddaughter has qualified for a Habitat home. To say I’m grateful and amazed by Jimmy Carter’s life and service doesn’t seem to be enough. We lost a great one today.

I dined with the President and First Lady in '92 at the Carter Center. When it was my turn to greet him in the reception line, I prognosticated, “You are going to win a Nobel Peace Prize in your lifetime because of all your great work.” He just smiled. Ten years later, the morning it actually happened, I called the Carter Center and left a voicemail to be given to him saying, “I told you so!

Sin embargo, me da felicidad que al igual que su esposa Rosalynn el año pasado, se está reuniendo con el Creador en el cielo gracias a la salvación que tuvieron por medio de Jesús.
Agradezco mucho el legado que dejó del cual seguiremos aprendiendo y seguir “Mostrando el Amor de Dios en Acción”

My family joined a group from the church and went to Americus to help with Habitat for Humanity and I was told that President Carter was gonna be coming through town and there was this one restaurant that he liked to come into ask how the chicken was and so I bought a meal and waited and sure enough he came in, and I was able to shake his hand. It was one of the most inspirational things in my life.
