Rosalynn Carter's Daughter Amy Chokes Back Tears Reading Letter Father Jimmy Wrote His Wife 75 Years Ago - Because He Can't Speak: Mourners Including the Bidens, Melania Trump, Michelle Obama and the Clintons hear their Love Story at Georgia funeral

Amy Carter choked back tears on Wednesday as she talked about the love story of her parents, Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter.
Her father, the former president Jimmy Carter, sat in the front row as she spoke. He arrived at his late wife Rosalynn's memorial in wheelchair and underneath a blanket bearing her face in a heartbreaking goodbye to his wife of 77 years.
The 99-year-old sat in the front row with his family and alongside all the living first ladies - Melania Trump, Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Jill Biden - and President Joe Biden and Bill Clinton.
The service was filled with love, laughter and tears - most of which came as Amy Carter talked about her parents, who met as children and married young.
Amy Carter admitted her part was 'hard to read without crying so be patient,' she pleaded.
'My mom spent most of her life in love with my dad,' she noted. 'Their partnership and love story was a defining feature of her life. Because he isn't able to speak to you today. I'm going to share some of his words about loving and missing.'
