The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released this statement following the passing of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter:
We express our deepest sympathy to the family of President Jimmy Carter and join with others in honoring his legacy of service to his country. President Carter embraced the Savior’s admonition to “love thy neighbor," leading by example in many humanitarian causes and promoting peace worldwide. He will be remembered as a dedicated public servant and devoted man of faith. We pray that the Carter family may feel comfort and peace as they reflect on President Carter’s remarkable life.
