I know that there was no avoiding this eventual day, but I was still blindsided and crushed as well. President Carter was both my first and my favorite and always will be.

(225,879 posts)6. Awwww, same here! I have his autobiography and she was the first First Lady to take in interest in Cabinet meetings
Both his faith and the fact that he felt that he and Rosalynn would be together again is the only part that makes his loss bearable.
