Jimmy was such a beautiful man. His heart and love for humanity was close to God’s. He showed us how to love one another and treat each other with kindness. I don’t think we will ever have a politician like you in our world again. Rest in peace I will remember you always. You were the first President in my lifetime!🙏🏻

Ever since I was 2 years old at a 4th of July party, I've loved Jimmy Carter! Every time a firework would go off I'd say, “Yay Jimmy Carter! Yay Jimmy Carter”. Then, 26 years later, when I was with child, I told my mom I was going to name him Carter. To which she said, “Since you were 2 years old, I always knew you'd have a son named Carter”. What a true blessing President Carter was to so many!

when my first daughter was born, I named her Amy. Not because of President Carter's daughter initially. My parents were convinced people would only think of President Carter when they addressed MY Amy. They didn't; however, as his presidency ended, and he became the amazing humanitarian he is/was, I would often tell that story when introducing her. She is a grown woman now, and we have participated in Habitat builds in our community with honor. President Carter and Rosalynn embodied what I feel it is to be a true American - embodying integrity, kindness, peacekeeping and truthfulness - and showing that these things can co-exist. I will miss him them this world.

Years later, he and Rosalynn unassumingly returned to the community for a surprise visit!
