Throughout her entire life, Rosalynn and Jimmy remained at each other's sides, especially when they were both enduring health ailments in home hospice care, which Jimmy remains in. Standing by her husband's side, the barrier-breaking late legend served the nation as first lady from 1977 to 1981.

As a couple, Rosalynn and Jimmy were so intricately tied to each other, so much so that when she was still alive, they did almost everything together. They never spent extensive time apart as they wanted to be near each other every time, both in life and in death, as they previously disclosed their plans to be buried close by each other underneath a willow tree in Plains, Georgia.

The most notable and rare attendance was by Jimmy, who had left his home, accompanied by a medical professional, to attend his late spouse's service. Along with Jimmy were he and Rosalynn's children, which included their daughter, Amy Carter, who held onto her dad's hand multiple times during the funeral.

Besides the beautiful and impactful memorial, another way Rosalynn was commemorated involved the attire the love of her life wore. Upon entering the service in a wheelchair, Jimmy had a special blanket draped over his legs, which was covered in endearing photos of Rosalynn and his faces embroidered on the front.

In addition to illustrations of the lovebirds, the blanket also paid homage to their hometown, Plains, Georgia, where they initially met as children.

In addition to him still being in hospice care, the public feels this way because of the overwhelming grief he now has to deal with at such a frail age, given the fact that he just lost the love of his life. In this regard, a social media user commented:

"I give him another 2 weeks and he will be gone too, just out of sadness."
