I'm so sad this kind-hearted man is no longer with us, but I'm glad his family got one more Christmas with him. I'm also relieved Biden's administration will be handling things, so Carter will get the respect he deserves rather than whatever self-serving mess the next group would bumble through.
Jimmy Carter was a man who lived his values, dedicated to peace, service, and making the world a better place. His legacy will live on in the lives he touched.
Rest in peace, President Carter.
