Garth And Trisha Sing Heartwarming Tribute To First Lady

The Tribute service for former first lady Rosalynn Carter took place today (11-28-23) at Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church in Atlanta. Former President Jimmy Carter was in attendance. Her Grandson remembered her as a loving Grandmother. Journalist Judy Woodruff described how she changed the definition of what it meant to be a first lady.

Jimmy Carter is 99 and has been receiving hospice care at home. He is unable to speak but he got to see his daughter Amy Lynn Carter read a love letter at the tribute that he wrote to Rosalynn 75 years ago while he was serving in the Navy.
