    Former first lady Rosalynn Carter, who transformed the role of first lady, dies at 96 (yahoo.com)
    RIP Married To the former president for 77 years.
    A passing that signals the end of a bygone era.
    Jimmy will probably be joining her soon.

    RIP and all that. Really know nothing about her. Like literally nothing other than she was Jimmy's wife.

    Rosalynn was a throughly decent, loving Christian woman. The kind of First Lady I wish we had more often. RIP in God's loving arms good woman.

    I think not.

    Yes. Very decent , humble people whose lives were devoted to doing good works / service to humanity. They did NOT use the Presidency to advance their wealth or themselves as greed and power were not part of their life philosophy.
    Saw Roslyn at a mental health conference years ago... and she was intelligent, informative guest speaker. Ever so down to earth. Margaret Mead was there too and Roslyn recognized her by stopping to speak to her.

    Jimmy is a good man. We'd need someone like him right now (and another Rabin) to restart the Camp David peace process.

    As to Rosalynn, RIP. I don't know much about her, but I think she was a humble woman who wasn't in it for the power.

    Her plan must be to get back in shape before the guys join her.
    I've heard you can be any age you wish to be on the other side.(chuckle).
    Jimmy is 99 and Wille is 90.
    You're right though, with Carter's cancer and Willie's indulgences /
