President Jimmy Carter arrives
Former President Jimmy Carter, Rosalynn's husband of 77 years, took his spot in the front row in what's been his second public appearance this year.
The former president is 99 years old and traveled from Plains to Atlanta for the tribute service. The Carter Center said when the time came to figure out if he'd be attending the event, the decision was easy - he never wanted to be far from his wife.

'First ladies club' spotted
Described as sometimes a sorority, Rosalynn Carter knew firsthand the hardships that came with the unofficial role of first lady and would keep in touch with those who were second-handedly elected into the 'first ladies club.'
On Tuesday, current First Lady Dr. Jill Biden was joined by all of the living former first ladies who have also filled the East Wing in the White House - the very office Mrs. Carter shaped.
Former first ladies Melania Trump, Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton were in the front row, honoring the life and legacy of the woman who paved the path they walked as a testament to the unspoken sisterhood they share and her wisdom on how to make the role their own.
