Rosalynn Carter’s daughter and grandson paid emotional tributes to the late first lady.

Daughter Amy Lynn Carter said her father, sitting in a wheelchair in front of her, was unable to speak at the memorial. With tears in her eyes, she instead briefly read from a letter he wrote Rosalynn 75 years ago while serving in the Navy.

He described falling in love with her more each day and signed off with, “Goodbye, darling. Until tomorrow, Jimmy.”

Jason Carter, one of Rosalynn’s grandchildren, brought laughter to the audience when he singled out the current and former first ladies sitting in the front row. “Secretary Clinton and Dr. Biden, we also welcome your lovely husbands,” he said, without naming President Joe Biden or former President Bill Clinton.

Jason Carter described his grandmother as down to earth, sending him $20 in a card for his 45th birthday and making Pimento cheese sandwiches for her family and even strangers while on a flight en route to a vacation.

He described her adventurous nature, including dancing all night with her husband in Cuba in the 1950s and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Fuji.

“She was born just a few years after women got the right to vote,” Jason Carter said “....But she was made to summit these mountains.”
