He described the outpouring of support as remarkable and meaningful, turning the process into a celebration of her life.
Reflecting on a recent conversation with Jimmy Carter while watching baseball, Jason mentioned that his grandfather humorously acknowledged uncertainty about his own well-being when asked. Despite his health challenges, Jimmy Carter remains present and engaged.
