Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, passed away on December 29, aged 100, in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. Following a first funeral service held in Atlanta on Saturday at the Carter Presidential Center, his body was transported to Washington D.C. via Special Air Mission 39, a motorcade then carried the casket to the US Capitol, where it will lie in state for two days prior to a national funeral later this week.
Jimmy Carter was a forward-looking president with a vision for the future.
He lived his faith, he served the people and he left the world better than he found it.
Throughout his life and career, Jimmy Carter retained a fundamental decency and humility.
Jimmy Carter was that all too rare example of a gifted man who also walks with humility, modesty and grace.
I vividly recall how my mother admired him, how much she admired his strength of character, his honesty, his integrity, his work ethic and determination, his intelligence and his generosity of spirit.
I liked him as a man. I disagreed with his policies. He thought giving away the Panama Canal was a good thing.
