29 years ago my son was 6 weeks old and my mom was visiting from Idaho. We took her to President Carter’s Church and Sunday School class and after you could have a picture taken with him. He said let the family with the baby come first. My mother, a life long Republican said it was the highlight of her life! President Carter, A Great American and Gentleman. Rest in Peace.❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

When President and Mrs. Carter visited our Anchorage chapter in 2000, I was assigned as their hostess. Upon arrival at the home site, they greeted me by name, we shook hands, and I escorted them to each of the people they were meeting. They both were genuine, warm, and interested in what we were showing them. Their visit was memorable to everyone involved, and is a favorite memory of mine.

Had we Listened to President Carter and followed his lead on climate change, we would be the world leader in green technology and fuel. Instead, we chose to embrace a smooth talking but shallow and inept actor who immediately remove the solar panels from the White House and here we are. Godspeed President Carter. The world is a lesser place in your absence.

I met Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter on a Carter Build in Chang Mai Thailand. They took the time to go to each home that was being built and speak to the volunteers and pose for a photo with the Habitat team and future homeowner. They were humble and gracious. They were true Christians — loving and non-judgmental. I feel very blessed to have met them in person.

President Carter came to Africa in 2004 to visit non-profit organizations. During that trip, he extended an invitation to Peace Corps volunteers serving nearby. I was a PC volunteer in that group who heard his inspiring words of encouragement for service. It is a cherished memory of mine. As a fellow Habitat for Humanity supporter, I salute & admire his legacy. I'm thankful for leaders like him.

Jimmy Carter was a true statesman. He and his wife worked endlessly for others. I admire that they didn’t just donate to Habitat but got out there and wielded a hammer! The Carter Center established by him does amazing work. I had the chance to run into him and Rosalynn in NY City once. I was thrilled with a nod of his head towards me. I am also proud of him because I am a Southerner too. Look what can happen to a simple peanut farmer who is kind and generous to others.

I was 8 when Jimmy Carter ran for reelection. I 'voted' for him via our classroom election. As I got older I saw the striking resemblance that my father (80) has to Mr. Carter, so I grew very interested in him. I am happy that Mr. Carter had such a gigantic giving and accepting heart. I have listened to his words. I have tried to do as he suggested. And very importantly, I have made hundreds of dollars in purchases at ReStore to support his cause (and donations as well).

With Habitat, I had the opportunity to meet President Carter in Plains, Ga., eat with him and hear him teach Sunday School. What was most memorable is the ordinary way in which we could have an opportunity to talk & ask him questions & learn about his relationship with his mother. Such an ordinary encounter with a true saint is an experience that touched my life and gives me the perspective to emulate that approach with anyone I meet.

We have lost a decent, visionary, peacemaking, and great leader and humanitarian. It is sad, very sad. As President Biden stated, President Carter was “a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism.” “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us.” “He saved, lifted, and changed the lives of people all across the globe.” President Carter, we miss you very much and forever.
