He is a man of faith.. real faith in the better angels in all of us.. not a user of faith for political power.. but a true believer in the goodness of people. With that I send prayers that your crossing is soft and your spirit lands gently in that place of never ending peace.
Good night Jimmy, you did well

President Carter has done more for the betterment of humanity while wanting NOTHING for himself.

I don't know what, if anything, awaits us, but if there is something I hope Jimmy Carter enters into joy.

What a great man of peace!

(24,291 posts)Just says Carter on it.. it means the world to me because my Mother passed away last year and she had Hospice in with her for her final 2 weeks.. they kept the pain away.. and Mom floated away basically on a soft fall breeze. I am forever grateful for what they do

(2,962 posts)She had Parkinsons and then a major stroke.
Then little strokes .
She was on hospice care in her nursing home.
She was on hospice for about a year.
She passed in her sleep.
This button I think has his picture on it.
I haven't seen it for awhile.
