Our family is saddened to learn of the passing of President Jimmy Carter. Throughout his long and productive life, President Carter’s service to others — both in public office and as a private citizen — earned him the respect and affection of the American people and of people across the globe. His hands-on humanitarian work, which he and Mrs. Carter tirelessly carried out together, helped to provide decent housing, eradicate disease, and improve the lives of millions in communities both at home and abroad. His quest for peace in troubled regions of the world, which culminated in the signing of the Camp David Accords, will long be remembered as one of the hallmarks of his presidency and his life.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Carter family as they honor and reflect on President Carter and his enduring legacy of service to our nation and the world.
