Supporters of Jimmy Carter’s post-presidential efforts mourn his passing

He will be remembered forever as a name that defends the idea that peace is the most important condition for development,

Lula said

The challenges Jimmy faced as president came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans,

he said on social media

With your approval, we will move forward with these arrangements so that the American people have the opportunity to pay their respects to President Carter before he is laid to rest,

they continued

In recognition of President Carter’s long and distinguished service to the nation, it is our intention to ask the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate to permit his remains lie in state in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol,

the lawmakers wrote

The world has lost another extraordinary soul with the passing of Jimmy Carter. A man who tirelessly worked for peace & humanity. Sharing a precious moment of my dad with him and his wife Roslyn that reminds me of the kindness & warmth he shared with the world. Rest In Peace,
