Statement from President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden on the Passing of Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter

Authored by whitehouse.gov and submitted by Julian81295

First Lady Rosalynn Carter walked her own path, inspiring a nation and the world along the way.

Throughout her incredible life as First Lady of Georgia and the First Lady of the United States, Rosalynn did so much to address many of society’s greatest needs. She was a champion for equal rights and opportunities for women and girls; an advocate for mental health and wellness for every person; and a supporter of the often unseen and uncompensated caregivers of our children, aging loved ones, and people with disabilities.

Above all, the deep love shared between Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is the definition of partnership, and their humble leadership is the definition of patriotism. She lived her life by her faith.

Time and time again, during the more than four decades of our friendship – through rigors of campaigns, through the darkness of deep and profound loss – we always felt the hope, warmth, and optimism of Rosalynn Carter. She will always be in our hearts.

On behalf of a grateful nation, we send our love to President Carter, the entire Carter family, and the countless people across our nation and the world whose lives are better, fuller, and brighter because of the life and legacy of Rosalynn Carter.

May God bless our dear friend.

If Jimmy goes in the next 24 hours, they should lie in state, in the Capitol rotunda, side by side.

This is how a true president expresses gratitude, condolences and the loss of a national treasure. Rosalyn, thank you for everything you have given us, everything you did, the example you set for us to follow. May your crown shine brighter than the sun, Beautiful Lady
