During the ceremony, friends and family members shared moving stories and memories of Mrs. Carter, highlighting her warmth, compassion, and unwavering commitment to serving others. Her dedication to mental health advocacy was a recurring theme, as many speakers praised her for breaking down barriers and raising awareness for those struggling with mental illness.
Following the funeral, Mrs. Carter was laid to rest beside her parents at the Rose Hill Cemetery in her hometown of Plains, Georgia. A simple graveside service was held, with close family members and friends bidding their final farewells to the beloved first lady.

I'm very impressed with Melania attending as a former first lady. I wish she would stand up to that ignorant bigot that she's married to but it's good to see a trump showing some class..
They were a wonderful couple to have in the White House.
