“Laura and I send our heartfelt condolences to Jack, Chip, Jeff, Amy, and the entire Carter family.

“James Earl Carter, Jr., was a man of deeply held convictions. He was loyal to his family, his community, and his country. President Carter dignified the office. And his efforts to leave behind a better world didn’t end with the presidency. His work with Habitat for Humanity and the Carter Center set an example of service that will inspire Americans for generations.

“We join our fellow citizens in giving thanks for Jimmy Carter and in prayer for his family.”
