Michelle Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton stepped off Air Force One with President Joe and Jill Biden in Georgia on Tuesday for Rosalynn Carter s tribute service.
President Carter, 99, wheelchair bound and in hospice care, requested his family leave him for a few final moments alone with his beloved wife, who passed away Sunday at their home in Georgia.
Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter were married for more than 77 years, longer than any couple to have taken up residence at the White House. The former first lady died peacefully at home in Georgia on Sunday, the Carter Center announced. "Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished," Jimmy Carter said in a statement.
