IMHO Former President Carter has done much for others. A fulfilling and accomplished life. Right to the end, he is making his own choices.

An exceptional human being, a true humanitarian.
He walked the walk.

Jimmy Carter is the most honest, genuine and loving person on the planet, who lives the Golden Rule and his religion. I hope he does not suffer. God Bless you, President Carter. You are truly a good man and have lived a full and noble life. Love and comfort to your beautiful wife. You will be remembered and missed greatly when you go to be with the Lord.

A gem of a human. He certainly did walk the walk. Godspeed, President Carter.

Those were the good old days. He is just a humble and down to earth guy.

I heard this on "All Things Considered" earlier this afternoon, and they're talking about it on NBC News right now.

I can't wait to meet him when I go to heaven myself.

I really respect President Carter, I hope he has an easy journey.

 

[Betty P]

I'll really miss him. He was a voice of reason and a beacon of kindness and virtue towards ALL. Part of a vanishing breed, there aren't many leaders like him these days.

All About Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter's Children and Grandchildren

Former President Jimmy Carter and late wife Rosalynn Carter have four children and 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Here's everything to know about the Carter family.

Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter built a huge family, and they wouldn't have had it any other way.

The former president and first lady share sons John William "Jack," James Earl "Chip," Donnel Jeffrey "Jeff" and daughter Amy Carter. Between their four adult children, they have 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Speaking on The Lead with Jake Tapper in 2015, Jimmy said that the key to his decades-long marriage was simply embracing time with their family.

"We have a big family now. We have 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, 38 of us in all," he said. "So, we try to hold our family together and just enjoy the family life."...

Mr. (Jimmy Carter) President, a solid and honest man, incredible legacy, humanitarian, gentleman, exhibits grace and made a difference. I hope he is resting easy and is comfortable.

 

[airportwoman]

I haven't seen one negative comment about Jimmy Carter these past few days, even from people who admitted that they didn't agree with his politics.

The last time/only other time I've seen anything like this was when Rush drummer emeritus Neil Peart died a few years ago. Even people who said that Rush's music made them want to destroy their eardrums were not disrespectful.

PLAINS, Ga. - Folks in Plains were just delighted - in a respectfully restrained way - when Jimmy Carter mentioned in a TV interview a few weeks ago that he wants to be buried in his front yard in his hometown, where the neighbors still refer to the former president simply as "Jimmy."

Very little was known about Carter's funeral plans until then, and many in this little peanut-growing town of 640 people believe his decision to be laid to rest here rather than 120 miles away in Atlanta, home of his presidential library, or in Arlington National Cemetery (Carter served in the Navy) will help maintain the prosperity he brought to Plains when he first ran for the White House in 1976...

If you visit Harry Truman's modest presidential library in Independence, MO, you can visit the graves of him and his wife in a garden area behind the library. I suspect their home will become a historic museum.
