Jimmy Carter Arrives at Rosalynn’s Funeral After Speaking Out About Her Passing
The blanket Jimmy Carter was wrapped in for his wife’s funeral paid homage to Rosalynn, their love story, and their life together.
The black and white blanket showcased a portrait of Rosalynn and himself with the text “The Carters” and “Est. 1885” embroidered on it, which honored the town where they met as children, Plains, Georgia.
Now, an emotional video is showing the former president’s arrival. Take a look:
